"Supergirl" — A comic book-to-movie adaptation writing sample. An origin story of the DC Comics character (the original Kara Zor-El from Krypton). Comments from industry readers in the early 1990s: "Highly entertaining and visually exciting . . . Action scenes jump to life, providing fantastic visual descriptions . . . am also impressed by your dialogue . . . Clearly you know your subject and it shows." — film industry story analyst (studio/agency reader). | "You have a good visual sense. Your descriptive writing is excellent. . . . faithful to the comic books." — produced screenwriter-director. | Script: 141 pages. Treatment: 3 pages. Note: This is a comic book adaptation/superhero writing sample only. It was written over 20 years ago, my first screenwriting attempt, because I had been a collector of Superman and Supergirl comic books as a child growing up in the 1960s and had a complete archive (1959-1985) of Supergirl appearances up until the original character's demise in 1985.
