The Many Looks of Supergirl


The recent posting of Wonder Woman in her Mod stage seems to have been a favorite with some readers. So I have decided to show that DC felt that a fashion change was needed for Supergirl in the late 60's and early 70's.
Here in Adventure Comics #397 she is shown in her first costume and looking over possible new outfits. One of them is close to what she decided on at first but none of those on the cover are the ones she accepted.







By the time this issue, Adventure Comics #399, came out you can see the costume that she chose. However, her search for a new look didn't stop.


She had this look for Adventure Comics #408.



By issue #410 she was wearing short-shorts and looking more like Mary Marvel then Supergirl.



When issue #412 of Adventure Comics came out she decided to dress more like her cousin Superman.



Then here in her own self titled book she seems to be back again to her short pants look. As if it wasn't enough to change her look they later tried to change who Supergirl was. First they killed off the original. Later an alien took over her role. Since then I lost interest but it seems that another Supergirl has taken her place. At least I still have some good memories of the first Supergirl.
