Adventure Comics SUPERGIRL "Heartbreak Prison!" Conclusion

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!
