Super-Love SUPERMAN'S GIRL FRIEND LOIS LANE "Super-Bride's Secret!"

When Last We Left an Increasingly-Desperate Lois Lane...

...she had lost a catfight to Diana Prince, the then-powerless Wonder Woman...who has, apparently, regained her powers...and then some!
And Superman's plans to wed Wonder Woman are going "full speed ahead"!







Well, at least it wasn't a tacky fake romance, like Batman pulled with the aid of Batgirl and Wonder Woman as we showed HERE, HERE, and HERE!
Several points...
a) Why didn't Superman realize the woman he was kissing (several times) was wearing a mask?
He does have super-senses, right?
b) How was Ar-Ual going to put Wonder Woman into the Phantom Zone?
The criminal escaped from the Zone through a rift (which had re-sealed) and the only Phantom Zone projector on Earth is in Superman's Fortress of Solitude!
The Superman robots and possibly even the tiny Kandorians in their bottle city might notice an intruder!
and, c) I don't believe we've ever seen a version of Red Kryptonite that temporarily removes a Kryptonian's super-powers!
September Will be a Open Topic Month!

Super-Love SUPERMAN'S GIRL FRIEND LOIS LANE "Superman-Wonder Woman Team!"

We Conclude Our Month of Super-Love with...
...Lois Lane facing off against Wonder Woman for the hand of Superman!
But, this is a story set during the era when Princess Diana didn't have her Amazon abilities and powers!
Who will prevail?
Read on...
To Be Continued, on Thursday, at Our "Sister" Blog, Heroines!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
Written by Robert Kanigher, penciled by Irv Novick, and inked by Mike Esposito, this tale from DC's Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #93 (1969) has never been included in any Lois Lane hardcover or trade paperback reprints!
But it has been reprinted...in a couple of Wonder Woman collections!

Swinging '70s Stories YOUNG ROMANCE "The Swinger in 'Rise, Love, Rise!"

Yesterday, We Met...

..an advocate of the "free love" movement, who an engaged woman thought was trying to steal her fiancee!
(She wasn't!)
At the end of that story, Lily was seen riding off in someone's car...












Sadly, there was no "next chapter"!
After this two-story premiere in DC's Young Romance #170 (1971), Lily Martin never graced the pages of another comic book...not even in reprint!
Since editor Dick Giordano left the book after this issue, replaced by Dorothy Woolfolk, I suspect she was responsible for not continuing a series that didn't fit her editorial vision.
Usually, DC's editors would find a way to reuse already-purchased material, but a cursory examination of Woolfolk's run doesn't show any stories that could've been reworked versions of already-written/illustrated tales!

NEXT WEEK:
We Revisit One of Our Previous Topics with All-New Material!

Swinging '70s Stories YOUNG ROMANCE "Michelle: Love is a Swinger!"

This Month's Final Example of 1970s Romance Comics...

...is actually both a finale to a multi-part series we ran last year and the premiere of a new series!








As you might have guessed, this never-reprinted story from DC's Young Romance #170 (1971) just introduced DC's new example of "free love", Lily Martin...

...whose first solo adventure followed (after a couple of reprinted stories) in this very same oversized (64-page) issue!
And, that (also never-reprinted) tale will follow...tomorrow!

Alex Toth Tales YOUNG ROMANCE "Searing Conclusion to Next Door to Love"

We Have Already Seen...

Coverart by Werner Roth (pencils), Vince Colletta (inks)
...actually, I'm going to let the writer do the synopsis!

BTW, if the story from DC's Young Romance #164 (1970) looks somewhat familiar to you, that's because we ran the re-edited, re-worked, re-titled reprint in DC's Young Love #114 (1975)
Besides the usual "updating" modifications to hairstyles and fashions, two pages were cut from the story!
Next Week:
We Don't Know Which Alex Toth Tale We'll Present...Yet!
But, We Guarantee That...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!
