The Return of Supergirl
May. 7th, 2025 12:32 pmiamrmanPost-Crisis Superman was supposed to be the only surviving Kryptonian, so writers had to jump through hoops if they wanted to bring any members of the Super-family back. These issues start a subplot about a young woman who seems to be Supergirl back from the dead. The truth is far more complicated.

I knew [Alan Brennert] likes Golden Age comics, and one of his novels was about Palisades Park, so I knew he’d done all the research he needed for that. So I pitched him the idea that it was a Betty Dean story about taking Namor to Palisades Park after the end of the war. And as it turned out, he was planning to move and had his stuff packed up so he wasn’t writing right then, and had some time. So he said yes.
He’s told me since then that he was in as soon as I said, “Betty Dean,” but the Palisades Park setting turned out to be useful, too.
I even had a backup idea: his other novels are mostly about Hawaii, so maybe we could do a story about Carol Danvers, shortly before she becomes Ms. Marvel, on a book tour — she’d written an expose about her time as security chief at NASA — in Hawaii, and, um, something happens that she witnesses. We didn’t ever have to figure out what, because Alan was all-in on Betty and Namor.

"Just spent a couple of hours on the phone with Alan Brennert, working on the lettering script for MARVELS SNAPSHOTS: THE SUB-MARINER.
It's weird suggesting script changes to someone who was a big big influence on you, and is a nine times better writer.
But it was fun, too."

Marvel Comics #1001
Nov. 1st, 2019 06:13 amlaughing_tree
The Eternity Mask is the macguffin of the mystery, and it's actually got a pretty cool power that I'm not sure has come up in Marvel before - in fact, I'm struggling to think of a super hero who's had this particular power. (Which doesn't mean much - if I've learned one thing from this project, it's that there are an awful lot of goofy Golden Age guys with strange, oddball powers floating around.) -- Al Ewing

Tom Strong is the comic you never read as a kid, that’s even better than you remember it being. (Okay, that sounded confusing, put that way. I’ll try again.) In the adventures of “science hero” Tom Strong, Alan Moore and Chris Sprouse have created the perfect all-ages adventure comic, and when you read it you’ll wish that it had been around when you’d been a kid the first time around. -- Chris Roberson

A big influence on Tom Strong was Tintin. I wanted a story that had fantastic lands and exotic adventures. Natives with paint on their faces and volcanoes erupting. -- Alan Moore

I thought, I don't want to do superhero comics. Or, if they resembled superhero comics, I want them to be based upon a different premise. So with both Promethea and Tom Strong, which turned out to be very different books, I was actually looking at the original origins of the comic book superheroes, which was in the pulp magazines. The pulp magazines of the 20s and 30s, that was where most of the heroic archetypes, people like Doc Savage or the Shadow, first appeared. So I thought, all right, if we rolled the tape back... Forget everything that's ever happened in superhero comics, just roll it back to that point and then apply it forward in a slightly different direction, and see what happens. -- Alan Moore

Last issue, a brainwashed Susan Richards demonstrated how powerful she really is by curbstomping She-Hulk. Will this resolve well, or will this display of strength be horribly, horribly undermined?
Trigger warning for abuse.
