1st Appearance World's Finest Comics #79
Year 1955
Publisher National Periodical Publications (DC)
Country of origin USA
This is from an advert that appeared in WORLD'S FINEST #79 Nov-Dec 1955. Some slight historical interest in her because, as far as I can tell, this is the first actual girl to appear to in a blue-and-red Superman-type costume. ('Super-Sister' was actually Superboy temporarily changed into a girl; Lucy Regent wore an orange/purple outfit; and the various Super Loises were adult women). Also, the word 'Supergirl' doesn't actually appear in the ad, but it's kind of hard to call a six-year old in blue hair bows 'Superman'. (c) Copper
