Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Supergirl's Jilted Boy Friends" 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 of Supergirl), seduces her, then treats her like dirt!
When Kara meets Kim as Supergirl, he treats her as badly as he treated her Linda alter-ego!
Brainiac puts the final part of his plan into operation, forcing the robot to destroy itself in front of her, leading Kara to believe her actions forced the apparent "suicide".
But the plan goes awry...

Trivia: This was the only Supergirl two-part short story in Adventure that appeared as the cover feature both times!
Supergirl would not meet Brainiac again in pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity, though she has battled him since!
Note the ad for Jerry Lewis meeting Wonder Woman, who was already de-powered by writer/editor/artist Mike Sekowsky...who was soon to take over the Supergirl series in Adventure Comics!
(You can read the never-reprinted team-up between Amazon and idiot HERE!)
You'll see how Sekowsky handles a Supergirl love story on two weeks!
It sure ain't like this!
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!

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!

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!

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!
