Super-Love Redux with SUPERGIRL "Heroine Haters" Part 1

We re-present...

...a never-reprinted Silver Age romance of Kara Zor-El aka Linda Danvers aka Supergirl!

This particular one involves both Artificial Intelligence misleading a user and a romance that would be handled quite differently if this story was done today!

Actually, you'll have to tune in tomorrow, when we present the conclusion of this...unique...relationship!

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 it was created today!

Curious?

As we said, be back TOMORROW!

Super-Love I ❤︎ MARVEL : Ai "Scarlet Witch in 'Meld with You' "

Though the "Ai" in this one-shot's title refers to the translated Japanese word for "love"...

...this non-continuity story features Marvel's most famous Artificial Intelligence, The Vision with The Scarlet Witch!

Written by C B Cebulski and illustrated by Tomoko Taniguchi, this never-reprinted tale was part of a collection of five 2006 one-shots on sale around Valentine's Day, featuring Marvel characters in romantic situations told in various narrative styles.

This particular anthology was done as manga and presented three tales, including the Avengers shown above along with Black Bolt and Medusa as well as Black Widow, Elektra, and Daredevil along with Karen Page)!

Super-Love SHOWCASE "Lois Lane in 'Mrs Superman!' "

For the rest of the summer, we're going to do one of our favorite topics...

...Super-Love, beginning with the greatest love story in comics history...Lois Lane and Superman/Clark Kent!

This particular tale is from DC's Showcase #9 (1957), the first of two tryout issues before "Superman's Girl Friend" Lois received her solo title the next year.
Note: "Superman's Pal" Jimmy Olsen already received his own book several years earlier...without any test issues!
Just sayin'...

Written by Otto (Supergirl) Binder and illustrated by Al Plastino, one of the two primary Superman artists of the era (the other was Wayne Boring), this cover-featured story was typical of the type of tales that would be featured in the intrepid female reporter's own book through the end of the Silver Age.
But you really gotta ask; what audience was this book aimed at?
DC had a thriving romance comics line aimed at pre-teen/teen girls, but this doesn't seem like the sort of book they'd want to read!
And it certainly wasn't the sort of thing the young male audience would pick up.
Yet it sold well enough to continue from 1958 until 1974, when it was combined with Jimmy Olsen and Supergirl into a $1 100-page Superman Family anthology which ran each of them in new stories along with reprints of all three characters' earlier tales.
