1984 Topps : Supergirl Stickers & Story Cards
Supergirl Stickers and Story Cards were released by Topps Chewing Gum
in 1984. Each box contains 36 wax packs with 6 sticker-cards per
pack. The 44-piece series includes a 10-card puzzle.
Supergirl was directed by Jeannot Szwarc and stars Helen Slater
as Kara Zor-El. The film was released in the United Kingdom on July 19, 1984, and in North
America on November 21, 1984. Kara is transported from Argo City to Earth in
search of an Omegahedron. Kara enrolls in Midvale School and adopts the secret
identity of Linda Lee, cousin of Clark Kent.
The film was funded by Alexander and Ilya Salkind, producers of the
Christopher Reeve
Superman
films. A Superman cameo was originally planned, but Reeve backed out before
filming began. The feature earned $14.3 million in North America, far short of
the $35 million budget. A one-shot Supergirl Movie Special comic
adaptation was published, dated February 1985.
In 2007 and 2010, Helen Slater guest starred on
Smallville
as Lara-El, the biological mother of Clark Kent. From 2015–2021, Slater
portrayed Eliza Danvers, the adopted mother of Kara Danvers on the
Supergirl
television series. Slater provided the voice of Martha Kent in the animated
series DC Super Hero Girls in 2015 and 2016. A computer generated model
based on Helen Slater as Supergirl appeared in the 2023 DCEU film
The Flash.
The
2018 Topps 80th Anniversary
series includes a limited edition card and 10 x 14 inch poster that reprint
the Supergirl Stickers wrapper art. The card and poster were sold
exclusively through the Topps website. The card print run was limited to 249
copies.
Supergirl was
created by writer Otto Binder and artist Al Plastino. The character debuted in
Action Comics #252 (May 1959).
