Daring New Adventures of Supergirl #6
DC Comics · 1983 · Very Fine (VF) · Paul Kupperberg · Carmine Infantino
Issue six of the Daring New Adventures of Supergirl plunges Kara Zor-El into a high-octane battle at Chicago's O'Hare Airport as she faces down a squad of deadly combat robots in the story titled Battleground O'Hare. This solo series gave Supergirl her own spotlight away from the Superman family titles, placing her in Chicago as a college student balancing civilian life with her role as Earth's Maid of Might. The dramatic cover and action-packed interior make this a vivid snapshot of the early 1980s DC house style at its most kinetic.
Written by Paul Kupperberg, who shepherded Supergirl through this landmark solo run, the issue features art by the legendary Carmine Infantino, a DC Hall of Famer whose dynamic layouts defined Silver Age Flash and Batman comics and whose work remains highly collectible. Infantino's angular, energetic style brings a real sense of urgency to the robot battle sequences, and his name alone draws collectors of Golden and Silver Age DC history.
- ⭐ The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl ran for 23 issues from 1982 to 1984, giving Kara Zor-El her longest solo series to that point in DC history.
- ⭐ Carmine Infantino is a DC legend best known for redesigning the Flash for the Silver Age and his iconic Batman covers of the 1960s.
