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

...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!

WONDER WOMAN (and SUPERGIRL) "Fight to the Death!"

Art by Carmine Infantino, Irv Novick, and Mike Esposito
The cover pretty much says it all.
Prepare for a classic Silver Age catfight!
Grok has never appeared again, not even in the many reboots that have occurred since Crisis on Infinite Earths...
Written by Bill Finger, penciled by Win Mortimer, and inked by Jack Abel, this tale has never been reprinted in color since it's first appearance in DC's Wonder Woman #177 (1969).
You may wonder about the tag line..."Turn the page for the real END!"
This is the page...
Art by Mike Sekowsky and Dick Giordano
...and the series was about to do the wildest reboot any comic had ever done up to that point!
My blog-buddy, Rip Jagger, can fill you in on that fascinating story, starting HERE!

YANKEE GIRL "Your Karma Ran Over My Dogma"

Here's a story created in the Golden Age, but published in the Silver Age...
Art by Ross Andru & Mike Esposito
...featuring a character who appeared in only one other story, as shown HERE!
This tale from IW Comics' Danger #16 (1964), illustrated by Ralph Mayo, was part of the unpublished inventory purchased from the defunct Chesler Publishing company.
It was probably intended for the never-published Dynamic Comics #26-29.
(The series ran from #1-25, then #30!)
No origin story was ever done by the strip's creators, but other writers/artists continued with new tales from the 1990s to the present, including an origin.
TRIVIA:
The cover for Danger was done by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, who were illustrating Wonder Woman for DC at the time!
There was a previous Yankee Girl from Chester, but she was a spy, not a costumed heroine.

Be here next week, when we present another tale of classic comic grrl power!
