“Please Stop My Funeral!”

In "Please Stop My Funeral!", Supergirl takes part in a high-stakes experiment that spirals unexpectedly when Tony Walston briefly gains her invulnerability—only for any harm he endures to be mirrored in her, leaving her vulnerable for the first time. Written by E. Nelson Bridwell and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, this 1969 Adventure Comics tale explores the limits of power and sacrifice with a mix of sci-fi intrigue and heartfelt stakes. The cover by Curt Swan and Neal Adams captures the tension perfectly, setting the tone for a story that’s equal parts suspense and emotional resonance.
