He did the entire run of Vol. 4 from 1996 to 2003, 81 issues.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergirl_(Linda_Danvers)

Full disclosure: The entire run has a TON of very literal God/Devil - Heaven/Hell stuff in it (several of the villains are literally Hell's demons, while Supergirl herself for part of the run is an Earth-Born Angel of Fire), which may be off-putting to some, but as an open-minded pretty-much-atheist (although who knows?) who simply enjoys well-written super-hero fiction, I thought it was f***ing AMAZING. Especially the powerful, recurrent themes of faith, family, struggling to find one's own identity, failure to live up to ideals, and most prominently, redemption. And it's not preachy or anything, not in the least.

Even if someone is a non-believer, that should NOT put anyone off from reading this series. There has never been a better version of Supergirl as her own fully-formed character, and probably never will be. The entire thing is one long, fluid story, so just a few issues won't make any sense, you totally have to read the entire thing from beginning to end. The ending is kind of abrupt due to it being cancelled out of nowhere, but even the final arc could bring a tear to a glass eye.

HIGHEST possible recommendation. Seriously.
