The Summer of Supergirl puts the Maid of Might in the spotlight… Like last year’s Summer of Superman, DC in 2026 is bringing us Summer of Supergirl — a line of comics and books that will not only capture the attention of readers but hype the new movie starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El. Among the groovy items will be a quartet of Facsimile Editions — two we’ve gotten and two we haven’t. For Supergirl Day on April 18 — taking the place of the annual Superman Day this year — there are are special Facsimile Editions of 1959’s Action Comics #252 (Supergirl’s first appearance) and 1938’s Action Comics #1 (Superman’s debut, natch), each priced at $3.99. Not just that, there will be at least two other Supergirl-related Facsimile Editions in the months ahead: Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes #23 and Lobo #1. There will also be a new, Artist’s Edition-size DC W.I.P.: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1, and more. — Several thoughts: — For those keeping score, an Action Comics #252 Facsimile Edition was just released in the fall, and Action #1 is becoming a perennial release. — Supergirl and the Legion and Lobo are set for June, but the exact dates haven’t been revealed yet. There will be main, foil and logo sketch covers, though it’s not yet clear which Lobo series will be represented. — Lobo is played by Jason Momoa in Supergirl, so I get that. But I’m intrigued by the inclusion of 2006’s Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes #23. The Legion is on the docket for a DC revival, but who knows whether that also ties in to the flick, which is scheduled for an official June 26, 2026, release. — Will these be the only Supergirl Facsimiles this year? Hope not. — For more info on Supergirl Day and the Summer of Supergirl, click here. — MORE — 13 DC COMICS FACSIMILE EDITIONS We’d Like to See — 2026 Edition.

An extraordinary amount — especially when you consider the artist never liked it! Superman #233 turned 55 this month, around the same time Neal Adams’ famous original cover art went up for auction. Now we have the result of the sale: The art on Friday went for an astonishing $1,500,000, including buyer’s premium, through Heritage Auctions: The art far outpaced other huge hauls for Adams cover art, including Batman #251, which went for $600,000, with buyer’s premium, in 2019, and Green Lantern #76, which went for $442,150, with buyer’s premium, in 2015, both through Heritage. If you notice, the Superman cover snagged more than both of those masterpieces combined. And to think the late artist didn’t care for it. (Nice time to be Superman, by the way. In case you missed it this week, a 9.0-graded copy of Superman #1 was sold by Heritage for $9,120,000, including BP — smashing the previous record of $6 million for an 8.5 copy of Action Comics #1 in 2024. — MORE — BATMAN BY NEAL ADAMS: ABSOLUTE EDITION Coming Summer 2026.
