The artist, Mitch Ballard, has previously drawn many George
Perez-inspired art or homages. Letters and logos by Christopher Ivy.
This is a logo commission for the first of a
series of four fantasy crossovers, all inspired by the best of the
Bronze Age. Line art by the always-dependable Mitch Ballard.
If there’s one truism that runs through
both the original Crisis on Infinite Earths and its thematic descendant
Infinite Crisis, it’s that unexpected characters suddenly get a chance
to shine. Granted, Power Girl’s not exactly a wallflower. She’d had
significant roles in series ranging from All-Star Comics to Justice
League Europe to Birds of Prey and JSA. She recently headlined the
much-discussed debut arc of JSA: Classified. And of course, she graces
the both variant covers for this week’s Infinite Crisis #2. Still,
despite the fact that she’s a perennially minor character, Power Girl
has a strident fanbase and certainly plays a crucial role in DC’s
biggest project of the decade thus far. Where then did Power Girl
originate, and what were some of the highlights on her circuitous path
to crossover glory? (Writer’s Note: Notice that I said some of the
highlights; this does not pretend to be a complete list of appearances)
(excerpt)
Justice League of America #195-197; JLA #207-209 (and All-Star Squadron #14-15) and JLA #219-220
(early ‘80s): While these appearances aren’t mind-bogglingly
significant in the life of the character, they do represent several
occasions upon which Kara interacted with the heroes of Earth-1 during
the annual JLA/JSA crossovers. Most interesting is her cross-world
flirtation with the JLA’s young hero, Firestorm. Writer Conway slowly
built this attraction over a few years. It has enough meaning for the
heroine that she goes ballistic in the early pages of #220 after
Firestorm has been injured in an ambush. These are all fun stories, and
it’s amusing in retrospect that, in keeping with tradition for such
team-ups, most of them incorporated the word “Crisis” into their
respective titles.
