Description

A lovely page which was seared into my 16-year-old brain. Seral years ago I had a conversation with Shane Glines, who told me that the page had the same affect on Bruce Timm, who paid homage to the incident in a BATMAN ADVENTURES HOLIDAY SPECIAL featuring Batgirl. In the recent book BATMAN: MAD LOVE AND OTHER STORIES, the page as originally envisioned by Timm was printed. In his commentary Timm mentions, "Page 7 originally consisted of six panels of Barb changing into her Batgirl outfit right in the middle of the panicked crowd. Even after I explained that I'd lifted the gag from an old Supergirl story,DC said, 'No way!'" THIS is that page!

I purchased this original from Mitch Itkowitz in June 2001. In his Alter Ego #67 interview by Jim Amash, Oksner stated that, "My women had Saturday night bodies and Sunday School faces." If you see Oksner's contributions to this page, he did exactly that here!

Nice page... and I agree, it is very sexy, in a rather subtle way, without being overly salacious. Definitely a keeper.

First saw this page when I was about 10 or 11 and found a coverless copy of the issue at a garage sale. Never forgot this scene. Exactly why it works I don't know, but I know a number of others who also never forgot this page. Also in this ish was Toth's Black Canary and bought with it was the Amazing Adventures with the Colan/Everett Black Widow shower scene. Quite the GGA eye-opener for a kid.

Oksner and Saff were the perfect combo for supergirl. Love this page!
