The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl #3

Issue three of The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl arrives in January 1983 with a cover that immediately commands attention — Supergirl, fists forward and cape streaming, flies headlong toward a massive, dripping clay-like creature towering over a crumbling cityscape beneath an eerie full moon. The sheer scale contrast between the Maid of Might and her lumbering, oozing opponent makes for a genuinely gripping composition, brought to vivid life by cover pencils from Keith Giffen and inks by Klaus Janson. As a bonus, Lois Lane gets her own feature this issue, with the sharp-dressed reporter spotlighted in a cameo at the bottom corner — solid value for sixty cents.
