All-star Batman and Robin #10 caused a stir when it was released in 2005, and it wasn’t because of Batgirls foul stance, rather the foul language in the comic whose transparent black censor blocks left the cursing clearly legible. Which begs the question, if you are going to censor it, why not just have the writers change the words outright instead of going through with the charade? It was only matter of time before the images were uploaded with the censor blocks removed. Iwas going to tell MC about this last night, but it turns out he already covered it. But I’ll bet he doesn’t know about the cover of Supergirl #1 that I found on Zaius Nation. 2025 Update: Two new Supergirl #1 covers added.
– Thanks to Adam Shahan for the tip.
Here’s the cover of Supergirl #1. Come on, really? This is the very first time they’ve had a Supergirl comic? No. This is actually from the 3rd series that starts in 1996. I saw this on Zaius Nation. They just had a link to it on Photobucket which is annoying because you can link directly to an image, but not the gallery owner without logging in.
2025 Update. here’s a high-res version of the cover. You can find the whole comic online for $2 at Amazon. I bought and viewed it, and let me tell you I barely got my money’s worth. There’s no masthead or any of the other ancillary internal pages besides the story. It feels very incomplete, almost like they left some of the story out. Thumbs down.
2025 Update, cont… Over at My Comic Shop there’s a version with the cover signed by Helen Slater, the actress who played Supergirl in the 1984 film titled, wait for it… Supergirl. Despite a grade of 5.0 and a significant blemish on the cover, the owner is asking $165 for it.
Regarding Allstar Batmand and Robin #10, That comic was actually recalled and sells for upwards of $200 now. I ordered a copy off eBay for $5. It’s probably not the recalled version, but I only care about the skataebaordinand not the cursing. When it arrives Scope it out for additional skateboarding content.
And now back to the original post…
This image of Batgirl on a skateboard is hosted over at the Comic Book Resource, where they made the annoying decision to highlight the areas where the foul language is used. Who would have ever thought the C-word would be used in conjunction with a (legitimate) Batgirl image?
Here’s a panel from i-Mockery’s Tales from the Longbox column titled “Frank Miller Spiraling Out of Control.“

Neat! Anyone notice the sweet checkered pattern Supergirl’s wheels? Looks like a pretty laborious pour. And…no, I doubt that those are supposed to be Randals…

looks like a longboard with Randalls to me, so they’re not backwards.

As good as an artist as Jim Lee is, he can draw a skateboard for crap. The front truck is backwards, the board a spongy plank, and the wheels like 4 inches wide. That is all.

That sort of objectification is just offensive. I mean, on that Supergirl cover there is no suggestion that the skateboard is anything other than a thing to ogle and they just crop out the entire back truck.
