DC’s Summer of Supergirl continues with Summer of Supergirl Special #1, a 48-page one-shot arriving June 24. This celebratory anthology brings together an all-star roster of writers and artists for a trio of stories honoring Kara Zor-El’s legacy across the DC Universe.
In the lead story by Sophie Campbell and Belén Ortega, the quiet town of Midvale is shaken when Supergirl comes face-to-face with the galactic bounty hunter Lobo. Can the Maiden of Might stand up to the Main Man? DC’s Summer of Supergirl Special also features two bonus stories—one by Mark Waid and Cian Tormey, and another by Gail Simone and Emma Kubert—each celebrating Supergirl as she resumes her rightful place as the Heir to El.
Summer of Supergirl Special #1 is written by Sophie Campbell, Mark Waid, and Gail Simone, with art by Belén Ortega, Cian Tormey, and Emma Kubert. The main cover is illustrated by Ortega, with variant covers by Tula Lotay and Pablo Villalobos, plus a Supergirl movie variant cover by Mahmud Asrar.
