In "The Coward of Steel!", Supergirl is welcomed as a hero to the planet Feminax, where she's celebrated by a trio of super-heroines who claim to revere her.

Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by Jim Mooney, with a striking cover by Curt Swan and George Klein, this 1965 classic blends cosmic wonder with a chilling twist.
