In cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportan's National Safety Belt Campaign,
American Honda Presents DC Comics' Supergirl (1994) was a giveaway special that tried to get kids in America to buckle up. Superman does show up to help his cousin use an alien machine to enter Steve's mind after he goes into a coma caused by being in an automobile accident. He thinks his younger sister died for not buckling up and he has a series of nightmares that involves them in various vehicular accidents. Supergirl tries to change the outcomes of the nightmares in hopes of waking him up. The back of this issue has some trivia pages that explores the truths and myths of seat belts and accidents. This got me to thinking that an educational comic about the dangers of using cell phones while driving needs to be published now.
The cover of
American Honda Presents DC Comics' Supergirl was drawn by Angelo Torres, who also penciled the interior art. The writers included Robert Loren, Fleming
Andrew Helfer, Barry Marx and Joe Orlando (the latter was also the colorist). John Costanza provided the lettering while Barry Marx was the editor.
