I truly love Supergirl's "I'm only going to wear hideous '70s costumes now, many of which were designed by my 12-year-old readers!" phase.

Heh! They pulled that nonsense with other heroes as well. I remember some truly horrifying designs meant to replace Robin's elfin booties and green underwear, but none of them made it into an actual story.

Wait...there is a Newsboy Legion out there somewhere? We need a team-up with those snotty teenage Legion guys from the future!

Why is Supergirl dressed like a Times Square hooker?

Also it's interesting that in 1971 Jack Kirby was the only creator they bothered to mention by name.
