Countdown to Halloween 2020 ADVENTURE COMICS: SUPERGIRL "Face in the Window" Part 1

In the early 1970s, gothic romance became a major literary genre...

...so female-oriented comics like romance and super-heroine titles found ways to implement the concept!
See the Chilling Conclusion...
Writer/artist/editor Mike Sekowsky had already done a couple of gothic/horror storylines in his other superheroine title (Wonder Woman), so it's not surprising he'd do the same thing here!
Inked by Henry Scarpelli, this never-reprinted tale is not unlike Sekowsky's own gothic romance book-length tale HERE!
