 I know the ending card is about why Stark didn't trust Jameson, but I can't help but imagine it's about why everyone is happy he wasn't commando under it all. This has been such a beautiful arc.

Panels like this make me suspect there's something to that idea that Lee and Kirby actually were trying to fit contemporary feminist ideas into FF (in the sense of "look, it's what you're mad about! we get it"), just in a way that was basically indistinguishable from playing it straight.

Amanda Conner is so good at drawing expressions. I love her style. Simple but powerful lines, the dialog is merely addendum to emotion. It also takes skill to make Powergirl, queen of gratuitous fan-titillation, look pretty goofy/adorable with said expressions.  Power Girl 8.

At least that one's might be a Fletcher "I Shall Destroy All The Civilized Planets" Hanks panel. More specifically, it's a Stardust story where evil people destroy the Earth's gravity because shut up.

I do not think that anyone who literally says "harrumph" is supposed to be the voice of reason, but hindsight is 20/20.

I'm dumbfounded that Vartox was an existing character. He's so perfect in this story I assumed he was created for it.

So, how did Power Girl go from "Jesus Christ is this dude for real" regarding Vartox to dressing up for him and being flattered by his complements?

They fight a bunch of monsters he let loose to prove his virility, he apologizes and offers dinner, she is mildly amused and curious what his deal is (he mentions the "dire circumstances" of his people), he offers her use of his Clothing Dispenser 12,000 to get out of her outfit which is covered in monster guts from earlier, that's the outfit she designs for herself for some reason. Later, he explains that his people have moved beyond "physical contact" for procreation and, well, this: Power Girl 8 (He shows up later and PG basically just punches him a bunch around the planet, flies him into space, and throws him into his space ship.)
