Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Romance Machine" Conclusion

...evil android Brainiac plans to defeat Supergirl by making her fall in love with a robot imbued with the lady-killer charm and persona of famed space criminal Kimor!
Pretending to be Kimberly O'Ryan, a transfer student to Stanhope University, the robot meets Linda Danvers, whom Brainiac thinks is just a close friend to Supergirl!
(The cover copy is misleading, indicating Brainiac and Kimor know Linda is Supergirl!)
Actually, you lucky readers only have to wait until
when Brainiac and Kimor learn that payback's a super-bitch!

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!

Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Jilting of Supergirl" Part II: Wedding Bells for Supergirl

...(it's Supergirl, in case you haven't guessed!)
Kara (in her secret identity as college student Linda Danvers) offers a sympathetic shoulder to Lois Lane, who fears Superman will marry a super-powered woman instead of than her!
The disguised Girl of Steel knows that circumstance won't ever happen to her.
But, she finds even the hottest young college men leave her unimpressed and bored!
A couple of days after saving the crew of a damaged burrowing vehicle from an underground race, a new student, Steve Robbins, appears at Stanhope College!
Handsome beyond belief and incredibly-smart (he even corrects teachers), the transfer student enchants the disguised superheroine!
That weekend, the football team's newest player (guess who?) displays his mettle...
Written by Robert Kanigher, penciled by Win Mortimer and inked by Jack Abel, this never-reprinted story from DC's Adventure Comics #385 (1969) is yet another tale of Supergirl falling madly in love (and even ready to marry the guy) in a dozen pages!
But she isn't always a love-sick sad sack.
In two weeks, you'll see what happens when the Maid of Might is the dumper...instead of the dumpee!
But Next Week:
Another Never-Seen-in-America Tale of Intergalactic Love...or is It Just Lust...with Agar-Agar!

Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Jilting of Supergirl" Part I

Talk about "spoilers"...

...but if this doesn't tug on your heartstrings (and make you wonder "why"???), nothing will!





Is Steve too good to be true?
What is his startling secret...and how will it affect the Girl of Steel?

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!
