From Comic to Screen: The Art of Supergirl Explores Kara Zor‑El’s Evolution Across Sequential Art and Film
In 2026, Supergirl emerges at the center of a rare creative convergence. From Comic to Screen: The Art of Supergirl presents a curated exploration of Kara Zor‑El’s evolution across sequential art and film, tracing the character’s visual and narrative lineage from the acclaimed Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic to her cinematic reinvention in DC Studios’ upcoming feature Supergirl, in theaters worldwide on June 26,2026. This hardcover volume invites readers into the artistic process behind both works, offering an in-depth look at how a contemporary vision of a DC icon is shaped, refined, and brought to life on the page and ultimately the big screen.
Authored by James Field, this 224-page collection brings together concept art, production design, annotated script pages, and never-before-seen materials that illuminate the dialogue between comic and film. Featuring visuals from the creative team behind Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow—writer Tom King, artist Bilquis Evely, and colorist Matheus Lopes—the volume places their work in conversation with the film’s bracing and otherworldly visual language. Evely’s expressive illustrations appear alongside early cinematic explorations, revealing how themes, motifs, and character moments traveled from layout to finished page, and from storyboard to set. New interviews with the comic’s creators and the filmmakers behind the much-anticipated summer epic provide insight into the collaborative process that guided Kara’s transformation across mediums.
With an introduction by DC Studios and an afterword by DC Comics’ Jim Lee, From Comic to Screen: The Art of Supergirl stands as both a celebration of the character’s legacy and a document of her rebirth. It is a testament to the continuing relevance and resonance of this DC trailblazer—and to the artists, writers, and filmmakers shaping her place in the DC Universe. Featuring a cover by Bilquis Evely, it’s out September 29, 2026.
