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!

Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Love Conquers All...Even Supergirl!" Conclusion

...supervillainess StarFire recruits charismatic criminal Derek Ames to trick Supergirl into ingesting an experimental drug that will remove/supress her super-powers!
Faking being mugged in order to meet the Girl of Steel, the sleazeball makes the most of the opportunity to "thank" his "rescuer"...
Unlike Adventure Comics' readers, you'll only have to wait a day to see the continuation of this never-reprinted tale from DC's Adventure Comics #402 (1971) which altered the status quo of Supergirl for several years!

AGAR-AGAR "Rendevous with Aquarius"

Star-Crossed, a new show on the CW, is about human and alien teens in love...
...but sci-fi and comics have been doing that for decades!
"This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius...Age of Aquarius..."
Oops, sorry, got carried away there for a second.
This surreal mini-series had eight installments, each one weirder than the previous.
Agar-Agar "got physical" (in a PG-13 way) with a variety of life-forms including centaurs, super-heroes, and a human or two.
Illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.
Written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name "Sadko" and published in England as part of Dracula (1971), a 12-issue partworks by New English Library, the first 3 tales made their American debut in Warren Publishing's Dracula TPB which reprinted #1-#6 of the British Dracula's run in 1973.
You can see the series, including the five stories that have never been seen by American readers, at our "sister" blog, Heroines™.
It'll be a groovy trip, baby!
Next week:
We haven't decided yet what it'll be, but we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
