I'm Batgirl

My favorite comic book superhero was Batman. Whereas the other superheroes had all the super powers, Batman had all the cool gadgets, a cool costume, headquartered in a cave and used the bat for his symbol ― can't get much cooler than that!

Pop worked in the comic book factory that printed the Marvel line of comic books, but he had to have a kid who preferred a character from a competing line of comic books. I appreciated the Marvel superheroes and read many of their books religiously, but Batman was always Number 1.

Fast-forward to Halloween 1995 and in honor of my favorite superhero, I attended my support group's Halloween party dressed as my version of Batgirl. I recently unearthed and scanned photos from that Halloween and here they are ― most of them seeing the light of the Internet for the first time.

  1. What a great costume, I assume you made the cape, aren't you the crafty one? Loved the comic strip as well, that is a real find!

    1. I borrowed the cape from my daughter. She had bought it for a previous Halloween costume.

  3. Holy HOT BODY, Batgirl. Looks like someone jumped at the chance to answer the Bat Signal that night.

    You really rocked your caped crusaderette costume.
