Supergirl Archives #1
In *Supergirl Archives #1*, a rare early tale by Jerry Siegel and Jim Mooney brings back the original Supergirl, Linda Danvers, in a story that blends heart and heroism. When a small Kryptonite meteor falls into her path, Linda tries to neutralize it—only for a stray orange cat with white markings to find it and gain surprising powers. The cat, named Streaky, soon becomes a playful force of good, even tipping over a milk truck to feed other strays. Frank Miller’s striking cover captures the moment of feline transformation, while the story’s gentle magic and whimsical superheroics shine through.

Supergirl recovers a small Kryptonite meteor and unsuccessfully tries to find a chemical way to render it harmless. Later, Linda saves a stray orange cat from a dog. The cat follows her to the orphanage where Linda is given permission to keep him. Because of the white markings on his side, she calls him Streaky. Streaky discovers the piece of discarded Kryptonite, and receives super-powers from it. Streaky feeds some stray cats by tipping over a milk truck and chases off a bullying dog. Eventually his "meows" attract Supergirl and the two have some super-fun before Streaky's powers fade away.
