Amazing Heroes #91: Supergirl Anniversary

It has been 34 years since Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Thirty-four years!

And despite having picked over that series with a fine tooth comb for all things Supergirl related, including a seriously deep dive into it during its 30 year anniversary here on the site, I keep running across new things.

Back in April, I did several posts based on articles in the special post-Crisis issue of Amazing Heroes. This was a true treasure for a historian like me, especially one who lived through the Crisis.

So here we are on Sunday, July 28, 2019.

What happened 34 years ago today?

According to a pretty extensive actual timeline laid out in the issue, Supergirl died on Sunday, July 28th, 1985, Supergirl died while fighting the Anti-Monitor.

Pretty serendipitous that the year that I found this magazine, the days of the week align, allowing me to do this true anniversary.

And pretty impressive that the ripples of Crisis #7 are still being felt today. We are even getting a Crisis on Infinite Earths on the CW shows this year.

So let's all bow our heads for a moment of silence today to remember this noble death of our hero.

Godspeed pre-Crisis Supergirl. You have earned your rest.
