About the series
DC’s Tangent Comics imprint reimagined its classic heroes from scratch, and this 1998 one-shot gave Powergirl a radically new origin: she’s a young woman who gains superhuman strength and flight after a freak accident involving a mysterious alien artifact. Written by Ron Marz with art by Dusty Abell, the issue stands as a self-contained introduction to a version of the character wholly separate from the main DC Universe. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the experimental Tangent line, which offered fresh takes on familiar names without continuity baggage.
