She was only 15 when she first came to Earth, fleeing the destruction of her world’s last refuge. Following in the footsteps of her legendary cousin, the Kryptonian teenager named Kara Zor-El joined Superman’s never-ending battle for truth and justice as his partner in crime-fighting-Supergirl! But the Girl of Steel isn’t a kid anymore. With high school behind her, this hero is ready to fly on her own! Disguised as the brilliant brown-haired college student Linda Danvers, Supergirl sets out from the safety of Metropolis to see her adopted country for herself. From the streets of Chicago to the hills of San Francisco, she encounters loyal new friends and powerful new foes, astounding new discoveries and terrifying new dangers. Can she stand on her own outside of Superman’s shadow? Looks like this is a job for…Supergirl! The original icon of girl power hits new heights in THE DARING NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERGIRL, collecting issues #1-12 of the classic series by writer Paul Kupperberg and legendary artist Carmine Infantino. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to Kara’s world, you’ll believe a girl can fly!

I'm not a fan of Bronze Age comics in general - too much talky melodrama without the zany pacing of the Silver Age or cleaner pacing of the Modern Age - but Infantino's art is gorgeous and Kara is eons less whiny than most male heroes of the Bronze Age. Unsurprisingly.
