SUPERMAN'S GIRL FRIEND LOIS LANE "Assignment: Heartbreak!"

We Have Already Seen...

...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!
But it has been reprinted...in a couple of Wonder Woman collections!

JET DREAM AND HER STUNT-GIRL COUNTERSPIES "D-Day for the Generalissimo" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...hired by the American government to "unofficially" bring a US-friendly leader safely back to his homeland, Jet and her team are confronted by the criminal organization CIPHER, which somehow knows what their supposedly-secret travel plans are!

Is there a traitor among the Generalissimo's people?

And thus ends the adventures of Jet Dream and her team.

Their tales have never been reprinted, nor have any new stories appeared since 1968!

Considering how Gold Key has licensed a number of their other properties like Turok, Dr Solar, Magnus Robot Fighter, and even Doctor Spektor for reboots/revivals, it's disappointing they've never bothered with this group!
Maybe they don't think an international female crimefighting team would be a viable concept?

JET DREAM AND HER STUNT-GIRL COUNTERSPIES "D-Day for the Generalissimo" Part 1

We Open with Some Typical Swinging '60s Spy Action...

...but, you'll see that pulse-pounding scene a little later in our tale!

Right now, we'd like to introduce you to a particular pair of Jet Dream's team...

...for reasons that'll become apparent shortly!

Will Jet and her acrobeauts keep the Generalissimo alive?

Will CIPHER win, and take secret control of...hey, what is the name of that Central American country?

Some of the answers will be revealed...Tomorrow!

Oddly enough, the similarly-spelled C.Y.P.H.E.R. (with a "y") was the name of the sinister secret organization The Shadow battled in his 1960s paperback adventures!

(I wonder if the two criminal organizations sued each other for trademark infringement!)

Writer Dick Wood and illustrator Joe Certa finally had 30+ pages to play with in this 1968 one-shot comic, and took advantage of the extra length to detail things like Jet's "No Man's Land" headquarters and give some play to individual members of the team.

JET DREAM & THE STUNT-GIRL COUNTERSPIES "Terror of Ting-a-Ling"

What happens when an innocent stumbles upon a heroine's secret hq?

Ask Johnny Kai, Ting-a-Ling's boyfriend, when he ends up in "No Man's Land"!

"Stray dog"?

Jet doesn't have a very high opinion of men in general, does she?

This new story from Gold Key's Man from U.N.C.L.E. #21 (1968) backs up a reprinted U.N.C.L.E. tale, so most people (myself included) thought it was a reprint as well.
Good thing I took a look inside the book! ;-)
And if that isn't the best argument I've ever heard against "slabbing" comic books...

JET DREAM & HER STUNT-GIRL COUNTERSPIES "Fall to Freedom"

The Stunt-Girl CounterSpies Go Back to Their Roots...

...unfortunately, for one of them, the roots include Nazis!

Remember, when this story from Gold Key's Man from U.N.C.L.E. #19 came out in 1968, it was only 23 years since the end of World War II, so those pesky Nazis were still pretty spry, especially in spy fiction!

For example: Baron Strucker was battling Nick Fury both in the 1960s as the head of HYDRA in Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and in the 1940s in Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos as the commander of the Wehrmacht's Blitz Squad, created as a counterpoint to the Howling Commandos!

Blackhawk, himself a WWII vet, was still fighting various hidden Nazi factions until his first series ended in 1968!

Nazis also popped up in the Matt Helm, Flint, and James Bond films, as well as the Man from U.N.C.L.E., Mission: Impossible, and I Spy tv series.
