...that Lois Lane was secretly overjoyed when Wonder Woman gave up her Amazonian powers and abilities since she would no longer be competition to marry Superman!

However, Diana Prince has now set her sights on the Man of Steel!

Is Lois a match for the still-Amazing Amazon?

According to the Curt Swan/Neal Adams cover above, we're about to find out...

The Battle for Superman Concludes Friday, at True Love Comics Tales!

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

What did Lois observe that you and I missed, dear reader?

Side note: Why isn't Superman doing something to mitigate the explosion, radiation, and fallout from the ATOMIC BOMB that just went off???

Written by Robert Kanigher, penciled by Irv Novick, and inked by Mike Esposito, this tale from DC's Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #93 (1969) has never been included in any Lois Lane hardcover or trade paperback reprints!

Adventure Comics SUPERGIRL "Heartbreak Prison!" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Imprisoned Kryptonian...

An unknown, unseen, alien contacts Supergirl across interstellar space, requesting she stop despotic madman Tyrox from unleashing his "Zenith Weapon" which could destroy the universe!
Though she could easily defeat Tyrox's guards. Kara allows herself to be arrested and imprisoned so the lunatic won't activate his weapon as a last resort against her...

Several points...

1) Green Kryptonite can poison and kill Kryptonians under a red sun.

Most of the population of Kara's home, Argo City, died when the lead shielding under the city was ruptured by meteors, exposing the citizens to the ground below the spacegoing domed city...which had become green kryptonite when Krypton exploded!

(Some, including her parents, escaped to the Phantom Zone, and later moved to the bottled city of Kandor!)

2) Tyrox's technology is remarkably-primitive for a culture that created a device capable of destroying the whole universe!

3) We never heard from the "mysterious, unknown intelligence" again.

He/she/it's identity remains unknown.

Adventure Comics SUPERGIRL "Please Stop My Funeral!"

Ever hear the phrase "She'd be late for her own funeral"?

In the following cover-featured (by Curt Swan and Neal Adams) tale from DC's Adventure Comics #383 (1969), the Girl of Steel is about to, ironically, live it!

Ok, it's a tad convoluted and contrived, but this never-reprinted tale by writer Robert Kanigher, penciler Win Mortimer, and inker Murphy Anderson is the very embodiment of DC's Silver Age output!

It's an impossible situation, yet she easily gets out of it!

Wotta gal!

ACTION COMICS "Deadly Rampage of the Lady Fox" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen..

Superman encounters a super-powered woman who steals and dumps a truckload of expensive furs, then manages to elude him.

Informed by the government that the furs may be part of an illegally-imported shipment, the Man of Steel (as reporter Clark Kent) is, coincidentally, assigned by WGBS with Lana Lang to travel to New Delhi to investigate what may be the source of the poached furs.

Also on the hunt in India is fashionista Mari MaCabe, whom the Last Son of Krypton had met back in Metropolis...when she hijacked the fur-laden truck in her guise as Vixen!

Seeing the costumed woman pursuing someone, Clark intends to follow...

Written by Vixen's co-creator (along with artist Bob Oksner) Gerry Conway, penciled by iconic Superman artist Curt Swan, and inked by Frank Chiaramonte, this never-reprinted premiere appearance in DC's Action Comics #521 (1981) gives us only the smallest hints of who Mari is and why she's doing what she does!

We'd have to wait another three years, when she would team-up again with Superman in DC Presents #68 (1984), (which has also never been reprinted) to learn any more details about her.

But, if you continue reading this blog, you won't have to wait that long...
