FALLING IN LOVE "I Was a Prisoner of Love!"

It's a new month...and a new topic for the month!
Read the story and see if you can guess what type of tale we'll be presenting for the rest of the month!
(Hint: It ain't what you'll think!)
Did you guess the genre for the month from this never-reprinted, cover-featured story from DC's Falling in Love #71 (1964), illustrated by penciler Mike Sekowsky and inkers Joe Giella and Frank Giacoia?
It ain't show business romance!
(Although that's a whole category perfect for another month!)
It ain't men who use women and then dump them!
It ain't women who let themselves be treated like doormats!
Actually, the answer is purely in the (admittedly-metaphorical) title!
We're doing "Love is a Prison" in September...which will feature one (or both) of the protagonists incarcerated!
Yes, this story is a bit of a cheat, but the tale is so delightfully-overwrought and the cover was sooo kool, that we wanted to find some reason to post it!
And you did enjoy it, didn't you?
Forgive us?
Next Week...
One (or Both) of Our Lovers is Imprisoned!
We Can Guarantee That...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!

Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "StarFire's Revenge" Part 1

...villainess StarFire's plan to use a romantic lure to use a super-power-eliminating drug on Supergirl works...sort of!
The drug causes Kara's powers to temporarily shut-down at random moments.
Luckily, Kandorian science, though unable to reverse the effects, provides her with tech to give her replacement super-strength and flight (though not invulnerability)!
Meanwhile, the villainess has killed her romantic catspaw, Derek, to prevent him from revealing to the world...
What happens if Kara's powers cut out now?
Find out by going to our "sister" RetroBlog Heroines! NOW!
