Power Girl First Appearance
Power Girl First Appearance
I was surprised to find the original art from the first appearance of Power Girl on eBay. The pencil work is by Ric Estrada for All-Star Comics #58, with inks by Wally Wood. People often forget that Estrada did the underlying work, both because Wood's style is so distinctive and because most everyone has heard the story of how Wood kept increasing Power Girl's bust line with each issue, waiting for an editor to tell him to cut it out. No editor ever did, and by the time Wood left the book the character was noticeably more pneumatic than any other in the DC Comics stable. Later artists honored Wood's chutzpah and continued to draw the character's breasts with unusual heft.

The page is selling for about $3000, which seems a bit low to me given the prominence of the character. For example, a printed copy of Superman #1 is seling for four times as much. (But I'm not an appraiser, so take my opinion with more than a few grains of salt.)

Alter Ego ran a good interview with Ric Estrada a few years back, and the original character sketch for Power Girl is included.
