World's Finest #169: "The Supergirl-Batgirl Plot!"

Download World's Finest #169





I have to laugh at this one as the cover for World's Finest #169 shows Supergirl and Batgirl behaving like mischievous teenagers. That's especially amusing to me as I grew up with two mischievous sisters, but the story is pretty humorous—if not outright loony—in its own right. The story was scripted by Cary Bates, but I facetiously wonder if he was on something while he was writing this. Please don't mistake my words for criticism as I love the occasional zany story and this one should not be missed! Curt Swan illustrated the story (pencils) while George Klein inked it. Oh, and this is also history you're reading as this is the first teaming of Supergirl and Batgirl!

World's Finest Comics #176: "The Superman-Batman Split!!" (Neal Adams Draws Supergirl)

Download World's Finest Comics #176




Neal Adams is my favorite comic book artist of all time and, considering the fact that this blog is about Supergirl, I thought it would be pretty neat to post a Supergirl story illustrated by The Master himself. I also thought that I would try something a little different this time out by uploading the comic book's pages directly to the Web log itself, which is something I always do on my other blog Tales of Swords and Veeblefetzers. Of course, I am sticking with my policy of including the download link just below the cover so you can read the magazine at your leisure.

"The Superman-Batman Split!" was written by Cary Bates, penciled by Neal Adams (natch!), and inked by the late, great Dick Giordano. I should also mention that these pages are scanned from Batman Illustrated by Neal Adams, Volume 1 and not World's Finest Comics #176 itself because I thought the reprint quality was much higher in the deluxe volume.

This story simply comes before World's Finest #176 and Supergirl is a no-show. For Neal Adams completists only.

"The Superman-Batman Revenge Squads!" was written by Leo Dorfman, penciled by Neal Adams (natch!), and inked by the late, great Dick Giordano.
