  • Early Draft Tie-In: Supergirl has a headband from issue #16 onwards because she originally wore one in the Supergirl (1984) film. The headband was ultimately scrapped from the film, but it was too late for it to be removed from her comic design.
  • What Could Have Been: Supergirl's book ended up in an irritating cliffhanger. DC planned to continue her adventures in a new title, DC Double Comics, but then... well, Crisis on Infinite Earths happened. Writer Paul Kupperberg has explained some of his then-future plans which never saw print:
    Anj: The last issue of the title ends with the return of Dick Malverne and a romantic kiss. Do you remember what your plans were for that storyline?
    Kupperberg: Not really, although Linda was definitely going to reject Dick. At the time I wrote Supergirl #23, we thought the character was going to continue in a new title, DC Double Comics, which she was going to share with a revamp of Superboy. I wrote the first issue (which got as far as being penciled by Eduardo Barreto, and lettered), which has a scene between Linda and Dick; he confesses his lifelong love for her, but she doesn't want any part of it. After that, Linda took off for what was planned as a six month space adventure on New Krypton, but I don't remember what we had planned for Dick.
