SUPERGIRL in “The Forbidden Fortress of Solitude!”

SUPERGIRL in “The Forbidden Fortress of Solitude!”

Don’t Mess with Super-Horse!

Especially on #NationalPetDay today!  Superman finds out the hard way.  And there’s more…..  Supergirl is horribly disfigured from an encounter with Jak-Thal at the Miss Cosmos contest in the previous issue, and wears a mask until she can find a way to restore her normal appearance.  After a brief sojourn on Bizarro World, and the creation of a “normal-looking” duplicate that misleads Superman, she is eventually cured thanks to an antidote provided by Jak-Thal himself.

Another story features AK-Var, a former prisoner of the Phantom Zone that Superman suspects of empowering fellow Kandorians in order to pull a museum heist (AK-Var later becomes Flamebird, part of a Kryptonian superhero team with Nightwing).
