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!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!

AGAR-AGAR "Fairest of Them All"

After Agar-Agar bedded superhero SuperBat, causing him to literally evaporate from exhaustion...
...well, we're off on another almost totally-unrelated storyline!
Surprised?
This story from New England Library's Dracula #8 (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 second 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 remaining stories on alternate weeks, rotating with never-reprinted Silver Age romances of Supergirl!
It'll be a groovy trip, baby!
Next Week
Another Never-Reprinted Super-Love Story with Kara Zor-El!
She's been jilted, rejected, and dumped!
But, payback's a super-bitch!
And We Guarantee...
You'll Cry If You Miss It!

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

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!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
