Super-Love MAN OF STEEL, WOMAN OF KLEENEX

You know you've wondered about it...

Normally, we'd post the rest of this fascinating (and scientifically-accurate) four-page article right here, but this version from Penthouse Comix #5 (1995), while illustrated by 1960s-80s primary Superman artist Curt Swan, has nudity, so you'll have to go to our "brother" RetroBlog...

Not Safe for Work Comics

to read the rest!

It's worth the effort, but don't go there if you're on your office or school computer!

Wait until you get home!

If you're already home...go for it!

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...

Will It be a Marvel or DC Character?

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!

Super-Love with SUPERGIRL (and WONDER WOMAN) "Revolt of the Super-Chicks" Part 3

We Have Already Seen...

...actually, we'll see this scene by Supergirl series artist Jim Mooney in. couple of pages!

In the meantime, all you need to know is that Supergirl has renounced being a crimefighter to become a Paris fashion model.

Wonder Woman, at Superman's request, follows Kara to talk her out of it, but becomes enraptured by a romantic Frenchman in the City of Love!

Meanwhile, metamorphing villain Multi-Face plots to steal an experimental rocket from a base nearby the "Isle of Love" where both the heroines are vacationing...

Considering they were both ready to throw away their careers (and in Wonder Woman's case, her long-time love Steve Trevor),  the ending seems a bit...contrived!

The two heroines would meet again in the final issue of Wonder Woman before she renounced her powers for totally-different reasons...

Err...never mind!

BTW, you can read this tale HERE!

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

When Last We Left The CW's favorite heroine...

...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?
