Still, no way should Barda be shorter than Scott...

Little Barda?
When Jack Kirby drew Big Barda, she was, well, big!!
Well, when DC resurrected the Mister Miracle series 3 years after it was first cancelled, well, Marshall Rogers drew her...not so big.
Yup, she was now clearly shorter than Scott Free.
She could still bring it, though, as witnessed in this knockdown, drag out brawl on the moon:
Before anyone objects, A) She had just been brainwashed by Granny Goodness, so she was surely not at the top of her game, and B) a dying Mother Box had just unleashed Scott's inherent "New God" strength and such.
Still, no way should Barda be shorter than Scott...

I strongly suspect Marshall Rogers must have had a chip implanted in his brain that compelled him to draw ALL women smaller than ALL men (Oberon being the obvious exception). What would he do if he ever drew a comic book that featured Wolverine and the She-Hulk?
Reminds me of one panel of Dazzler13, where artist Frank Springer drew the She-Hulk as a normal sized woman no bigger than Dazzler herself.
While Dazzler was wearing high heeled boots attached to roller skates and the She-Hulk was barefoot at the time, that alone shouldn't have erased the significant height difference between the 6'7" She-Hulk and the 5'8" Dazzler.
She-Hulk looked like a normal-sized woman who painted herself green from head to foot, not unlike Yvonne Craig in Star Trek.
