AGAR-AGAR "Even Heroes Get Tired"

When Last We Left Our Innocent, yet Horny, Heroine...

...oh, c'mon!

You really think there's a coherent narrative link in this strip?

So that's why Clark and Lois never...you know...until recently!

This story from New England Library's Dracula #7 (1971) was written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name Sadko  and illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.

It's the first of four tales unseen by American audiences, since Warren Magazines reprinted only the first six issues of Dracula in their 1972 trade paperback.
But you'll see the other three on alternate weeks, rotating with never-reprinted Silver Age romances of Supergirl!

It'll be a groovy trip, baby!

Super-Love 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 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 and bisexual 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!

Love in the Time of Covid-19 LOVE DIARY "I was Branded a Flirt, a Nurse Confesses..."

For our final (for now) disease-themed story...

...we present an intense, never-reprinted one from Orbit's Love Diary #1 (1949) which takes a twist you probably don't expect!!

That "life together" continued for five more issues of Love Diary, along with a two-story spinoff featuring supporting character Sally Weeks!

Vicky didn't end up with the wholesome "boy next door" doctor as you might expect, but the glamourous, slightly-arrogant studmuffin!

But, that doesn't mean the course of true love is without some rough patches, as you'll see when we continue this series in our "brother" RetroBlog Medical Comics and Stories!

Next Week

Love in the Time of Covid-19 CONFESSIONS OF THE LOVELORN "Man in My Past!"

Warning: the story under this Ken Bald-illustrated cover is about an incurable disease...

...but it's not the incurable disease you'll think it is after the first few pages!

So he's not cured, but in remission, though the doctor says the operation was a "complete success"!

Written by editor Richard E Hughes and illustrated by Howard Alexander, this never-reprinted tale from ACG's Confessions of the LoveLorn #57 (1955) tries to make Alan honorable, even noble!

But instead of being honest with his wife, he all but abandoned her and then returned years later expecting her to take him back!
