Supergirl Book One
Supergirl #3 – ‘And No Dawn to Follow the Darkness’ November 1996 – Gorilla Grodd unleashes a talisman called the Heart of Darkness on Leesburg, and everyone but Sylvia Danvers is turning into beasts. Supergirl goes to stop it, but is converted herself. Supergirl Book One

Supergirl Book One
Teen Titans (1996) #4 – January 1997
Supergirl #6 – ‘Trust Fund’ – February 1997 Supergirl Book One
Supergirl Plus the Power of Shazam! (1997) #1 – February 1997
Supergirl and Mary Marvel star in “Perceptions” and a bonus story features Linda and Mattie in “A Day in the Life”. Content warning for the main “Supergirl Plus” story: includes a vaguely implied sexual assault of Mary Marvel by a cop followed by victim blaming, presented as a “he said she said, who can say?” that was infuriating to read back in 1996. Skip this story. The shorter backup story featuring Mattie is fine.
Teen Titans (1996) #5 – February 1997
Supergirl #7 – ‘Art History’ – March 1997
Supergirl explores Linda’s past by going through her artwork to trigger memories, and doesn’t like what she remembers. Sylvia tries to set Linda up with a blind date.
