Captain America and Stargirl



I first became aware of Darwyn Cooke when I read that he was behind the awesome opening title sequence for the Batman Beyond cartoon.  So when I saw that he was going to be writing and illustrating some DC comics, I was very interested to see how they would look.  I was blown away with the cinematic feel of his stories - reading comics like Batman: Ego was like looking at the coolest storyboards ever.  Then of course, there's DC: The New Frontier, where he really got a chance to flex his superhero muscles.  He's great as moody noirish tales as well, as can be seen with his work on Parker for IDW.

  1. I thought her name was Star-Spangled Kid, not Stargirl?

  2. She changed her name around the time she joined the JSA, shortly after (IIRC) she traded her Cosmic Belt for Jack Knight's Cosmic Staff.
