Ahead of Kara Zor-El’s return to cinemas this summer, DC Comics will debut its Summer of Supergirl Special #1. The 48page one-shot arrives in comic book stores on June 24, celebrating Maiden of Might by bringing together an all-star roster of writers and artists for a trio of brand newstories.
In the lead story by Sophie Campbell and Belén Ortega, the quiet town of Midvale is shaken when Supergirl comes face-to-face with the galactic bounty hunter Lobo. Can the Maiden of Might stand up to the Main Man? DC’s Summer of Supergirl Special also features two bonus stories—one by Mark Waid and Cian Tormey, and another by Gail Simone and Emma Kubert—each celebrating Supergirl as she resumes her rightful place as the Heir to El.
Summer of Supergirl Special #1 is written by Sophie Campbell, Mark Waid, and Gail Simone, with art by Belén Ortega, Cian Tormey, and Emma Kubert. The main cover is illustrated by Ortega, with variant covers by Tula Lotay and Pablo Villalobos, plus a Supergirl movie variant cover by Mahmud Asrar.
The Summer of Supergirl Special one-shot joins a growing lineup of Summer of Supergirl publishing, including the new DC Elseworlds series Supergirl: Survive, facsimile editions of Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes #23 and Lobo #1, the oversized artbook DC W.I.P.: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1, and Supergirl-themed variant covers across DC’s line.
Summer of Supergirl Special #1 arrives June 24 for $5.99 US (card stock variants $6.99 US), with more announcements to come as DC’s Summer of Supergirl continues throughout 2026.
