Supergirl graduated from backup feature in Action Comics to the lead feature in Adventure Comics in 1969. Her Adventure Comics run is notable for transitioning from Silver Age to Bronze Age with the new creative team on issue #397 and the subsequent introduction of her classic 1970s’ puffy blouse+shorts costume.
