  • Girl-Wonder.org – Stephanie Brown (Spoiler/Robin IV) is the patron saint of this fascinating collective of blogs, web sites and articles examining the state of female superheroes in DC and Marvel. Not for fanboys in need of Feminism 101, this stuff dives deep into the pervasive misogyny in comics, while celebrating the good stuff. Lots of awesome writing.
  • Girl-Wonder.og Forums – a great community site for superheroine fans.
  • The Comic Book Database and The Grand Comic Book Database are excellent sources for detailed issue information and covers for all sorts of comics (superhero, indie, manga). You can use the Comic Book Database to keep track of all the comics you personally own, your pull list, and your comics wish list.

Comicbook Stores

  • Mile High Comics – perhaps the largest selection of back issue comics on the internet, many classic Supergirl comics can be purchased from this site. However they sell Silver Age comics (e.g. Action and Adventure) at significantly higher than average. The later comics from the 1970s are a lot cheaper.
  • MyComicShop – also carries a large number of Supergirl back issues similar to Mile High Comics, but appears to have more of the 1996-2003 series in stock.
