Geoff Jones provides the script and Amanda Connor the art. Connors is one of only a handful of female comic book artists working in the industry today.
Her style is realistic with hints of humor and filled with the sense that the characters are aware of what is going on and that know they are in a comic book.
In this issue readers get a recap of the origin of Powergirl and how she came to earth. There's a brief bit about her JSA membership and how she went about testing her powers and coming up with her ‘ahem!’ slightly revealing costume.
But the main part of the story has Powergirl struggling with her past and some disturbing visions that cause her to (in the public’s eye) go berserk.
Amanda Conners’ art it perfect for this title. She infuses some humor, a little sexual tease and some powerful emotional and action sequences.
She gives Powergirl a visual personality that matches Geoff Jones’ descriptive writing.
Currently a mint copy of JSA Classified #1 with variant cover by Adams Hughes goes for about $45 raw and $200 slabbed.
