(and thence his run on *Supergirl*, from which he sort of developed *Fallen Angel* when they took "*Supergirl*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergirl_(Linda_Danvers) away from him...)
Speaking of Peter David's *Supergirl*, the picture up there is one fan's version of "Peter's Angels", which is what Peter intended to do if he'd been allowed to continue on the strip - left to right, *Kara Zor-El* (Superman's cousin), *Ariella*, the daughter of Linda Danvers and Superman from another universe (Linda's entire time in that universe was wiped out, but Ariella still exists because Linda basically told God [well, his direct representative, *The Spectre*] that if Ariella was to be wiped out of existence, she'd *let* the universe end...) and *Linda Danvers*, wo is and isn't Supergirl, and is no relation to Superman. ("*Read the Wikipedia article*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergirl_(Linda_Danvers) to sort of get that all straightened out...) (The *Fallen Angel* cover reproduced above [#16 of the second series from publisher, IDW] parodies the cover of a comic (issue 10 of the *Crisis on Infinite Earths* series - see below), in which the *original* Supergirl died heroically - my first wife said "How *dare* they make me care so much about the death of a character i don't even like!" - one which was, incidentally, parodied in Peter's earlier *Supergirl* series. Lee, the fallen angel, holds the body of "Lin", her predecessor as "court of last resort" in the mystical city of Bete Noire. The significance of this is that in the original DC series, Peter strongly implied that Lee was Linda Lee Danvers, who had been Supergirl. When he took the character {which he and the origional artist own} to IDW, he revealed that that was not true, but did a story featuring "Lin", who resembled Linda Lee Danvers even more strongly than Lee. Unable to say outright that "Lin" was Linda, he nonetheless stated that he couldn't say so in terms that made it clear that she *was*...)
Left, the *Crisis on Infinite Earths* cover recently voted DC fans' all-time favourite cover; right, *Suppergirl* #79: Kara/Supergirl holds the body of Linda/Supergirl at the end of the run of Peter David's version of *Supergirl* - the best version of the character ever, in a lot of people's opinions.
