Since the idea of summer camp is pretty much kaput for this year...
...we thought it only fair to show you how it used to be...if you were a super-heroine!
Scripted by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, this never-reprinted tale from DC's Adventure Comics #384 (1969) was typical DC Silver Age fluff.
In 1969, the Supergirl strip moved from the back of Action Comics to take over Adventure Comics (forcing the Legion of Super-Heroes from book-length tales in Adventure into short stories in the back of Action!)
The intention was to give the Girl of Steel book-length adventures, but after only two issues, the title adopted a two-tale per issue format.
Considering how many of those shorts were two-parters which could easily have been full-length stories, the decision seems a bit odd...
Despite the success of
the CW TV series about the Maid of Might,
DC has
never reprinted almost
any of this series from #381 to #424, so we're going to correct that with not one but two summer blogathons both here (where we'll present the weirdest stories) and
True Love Comics Tales, where we'll show you some of her (rather kinky) romances!

...was the fact Amos Ameswell knew Supergirl's secret identity!
