Super-Love YOUNG HEROES IN LOVE "Your Lips! Your Eyes! Your Nuclear Breath Vision!" Part 1

Though Published by DC...

...this introduction to a never-reprinted 1997 series is about characters who are an extremely-minor part of the DC Multiverse.

(They only crossed-over once with other DC characters and never even left their own title to do so!

If you didn't read Young Heroes in Love, you'd never know they existed!)

So dive in, and enjoy a superhero soap opera that most of you didn't even know existed!

Are those nipple rings???
Now that co-creators Dan Raspler (writer) and Dev Madan (penciler/designer) have assembled the protagonists, be here Friday when you'll see revelations (and I do mean revelations!) both in terms of plot and art!

Keep in mind we are a family-friendly blog, so get your mind out of the gutter!

Remember:

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

Super-Love Redux 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 (you-know-who) warns her against unrealistic expectations.

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?
BTW, note that Volar looks totally-different on the cover by penciler Curt Swan and inker Murphy Anderson!

Too bad DC never followed-up on the saga of the first transvestite super-heroine.

BTW, why couldn't Volar's genius scientist father synthesize the chemicals needed to utilize the mask?
Just askin'...
Also, since Superman programs his Super-Computer, why didn't he add the information on Volar's disguise to the database?
Or did the computer deliberately leave out that info when responding to Suprgirl's query?
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 main and supporting gay and bisexual characters in comics and comics-oriented media, so the idea of two heroines (or heroes) being involved would hardly be shocking to the audience...

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!

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.
