Lost Love FALLING IN LOVE "I Found My Love at the WoodStock Festival!"

When We Ran Last Week's Never-Reprinted Lost Love Story Set at Woodstock...

...we had no idea there was a second, also never-reprinted tale...from DC, of all places!

(And this story came out months before the Marvel one!)

Penciled by Werner Roth, inked by Murphy Anderson, and scripted by...well, we don't know who wrote this rather saccharine story...it's nowhere near as "gritty" or realistic (if you can call any comic book tale "realistic") as the My Love piece we ran last week.
To offer a comparison...
The My Love creatives, Gary Friedrich and Gray Morrow were 28 and 38, respectively.
The Falling in Love creatives, Werner Roth and Murphy Anderson, were 50 and 46 at the time.
So we're looking at a differing generational point of view of those events between the two tales...and it really shows!

Super-Love Redux with SUPERGIRL "Heroine Haters" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Heroine...

...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 (you-know-who) warns her against unrealistic expectations.

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?
BTW, note that Volar looks totally-different on the cover by penciler Curt Swan and inker Murphy Anderson!

Too bad DC never followed-up on the saga of the first transvestite super-heroine.

BTW, why couldn't Volar's genius scientist father synthesize the chemicals needed to utilize the mask?
Just askin'...
Also, since Superman programs his Super-Computer, why didn't he add the information on Volar's disguise to the database?
Or did the computer deliberately leave out that info when responding to Suprgirl's query?
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 main and supporting gay and bisexual characters 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-present...

...a never-reprinted Silver Age romance of Kara Zor-El aka Linda Danvers aka Supergirl!

This particular one involves both Artificial Intelligence misleading a user and a romance that would be handled quite differently if this story was done today!

Actually, you'll have to tune in tomorrow, when we present the conclusion of this...unique...relationship!

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 it was created today!

A Month of...MICHELLE "Wrong Boy!"

We Have Already Seen...

...recently-orphaned innocent teenager Michelle is adopted by her rich uncle, and is adapting to life in his upper-crust neighborhood...

While the comic's readers had to wait two issues and four months (It was a bi-monthly) for her next appearance after this one in DC's Young Love #80 (1970), you can see that story...

NEXT WEEK!

And We Guarantee...

You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!

With art by the team (who did all four stories in the series) of penciler Win Mortimer and inker Vince Colletta, this second chapter is likely written by Jack Miller, who we do know scripted the final two chapters, thanks to detective work by historian Scott Edelman!
