Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Romance Machine" Part 1

It's not just another story of Kara Zor-El's severely-screwed up romantic life...
...though it sure seems like it is, at the beginning!
Isn't it weird villains never try to pull a similar plot with Superman?
Though there's no footnote, Supergirl beat Brainiac in DC's Action Comics #339 (1966)!
Amazing how an android can carry a grudge.for years until DC's Adventure Comics #388 (1970)!
Is Brainiac right?
Can the Girl of Steel be manipulated like a puppet by a good-looking guy?
Be back TOMORROW to find out!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!

Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Heroine Haters" Conclusion

...depressed over her Stanhope College classmates finding boyfriends using computer dating, Kara uses the Fortress of Solitude's Super-Computer to find the perfect mate for her.
While it indicates that Volar of the planet Torma is perfect for her, the Girl of Steel's cousin warns her against getting her hopes up.
Supergirl travels to Torma and discovers that women there are treated as 2nd-class citizens, and that she's considered an amusing freak!
But will love for the handsome and dynamic Volar, whose respect and admiration for her is far different from any of the other men of Torma, enable her to overcome such blatant prejudice?
Too bad DC never followed-up on the saga of the first transvestite super-heroine.
Note: There was a transvestite super-hero in the 1940s...the original Cat-Man!
Written by Cary Bates, penciled by Win Mortimer and inked by Jack Abel, this cover-featured tale from DC's Adventure Comics #384 (1969) would probably have a much different ending if created today!
There are now numerous gay characters (both main and supporting) in comics and comics-oriented media, so the idea of two heroines (or heroes) being involved would hardly be shocking to the audience...
Next Week...

We're alternating the Supergirl entries this summer with the remaining Agar-Agar tales...which were never published in America!
