Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Supergirl's Jilted Boy Friends" Conclusion

...evil android Brainiac plans to defeat Supergirl by making her fall in love with a robot imbued with the lady-killer charm and persona of famed space criminal Kimor!
Pretending to be Kimberly O'Ryan, a transfer student to Stanhope University, the robot meets Linda Danvers (whom Brainiac thinks is just a close friend of Supergirl), seduces her, then treats her like dirt!
When Kara meets Kim as Supergirl, he treats her as badly as he treated her Linda alter-ego!
Brainiac puts the final part of his plan into operation, forcing the robot to destroy itself in front of her, leading Kara to believe her actions forced the apparent "suicide".
But the plan goes awry...
Trivia: This was the only Supergirl two-part short story in Adventure that appeared as the cover feature both times!
Supergirl would not meet Brainiac again in pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity, though she has battled him since!
Note the ad for Jerry Lewis meeting Wonder Woman, who was already de-powered by writer/editor/artist Mike Sekowsky...who was soon to take over the Supergirl series in Adventure Comics!
(You can read the never-reprinted team-up between Amazon and idiot HERE!)
You'll see how Sekowsky handles a Supergirl love story on two weeks!
It sure ain't like this!
But Next Week:
Another Never-Seen-in-America Tale of Intergalactic Love...or is It Just Lust...with Agar-Agar!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
