Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Love Conquers All...Even Supergirl!" Conclusion

...supervillainess StarFire recruits charismatic criminal Derek Ames to trick Supergirl into ingesting an experimental drug that will remove/supress her super-powers!
Faking being mugged in order to meet the Girl of Steel, the sleazeball makes the most of the opportunity to "thank" his "rescuer"...
Unlike Adventure Comics' readers, you'll only have to wait a day to see the continuation of this never-reprinted tale from DC's Adventure Comics #402 (1971) which altered the status quo of Supergirl for several years!

AGAR-AGAR "Forest of Life and Death"

xxxxxxxxxx
This story from New England Library's Dracula #10 (1971) was written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name Sadko  and illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.
In prepping these scans, I discovered the stories had been published out of order!
Two weeks ago, I ran the tale from Dracula #8, so logically, this week should have been #9...except the storyline from #8 leads directly into this story from #10...which leads into #9, and finally #11!
In two weeks you'll see #9, which follows up on the conclusion of this tale.
It'll be a groovy trip, baby!
Next Week
Another Never-Reprinted Super-Love Story with Kara Zor-El!
And it's so mind-boggling and epic that we have to run it over both this blog and our sister blog, Heroines!
We Guarantee...
You'll Cry If You Miss It!

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!

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!
(The cover copy is misleading, indicating Brainiac and Kimor know Linda is Supergirl!)
Actually, you lucky readers only have to wait until
