The issue number I don’t know, but it was JSA, with Eaglesham I think. I can’t say for sure about that last, in fact I may well be wrong about the artist. Late period JSA, just before Infinite Crisis when PG got retconned back to being from Krypton-2. In other words, while she was still technically on the Atlantean thing. The Hakwman/Black Adam, IIRC, or rather its prelude.
As for the style, that was pre-Connor, amidst an era where Alex Ross’s bodybuilder Power Woman from Kingdom Come was still influencing artists. In other words, while that’s a bit extreme, it’s hardly unique. By the time Connor came around and set the new standard for PG’s look, thus saving her for fans, she’d already been brought back around to that end of the spectrum to a large extent, and Connor just formalized the look and tweaked the costume a bit, while toning down the muscles, (though not the bust size as much).

The Alex Ross inspired PowerGirl is the best PowerGirl
