Adventure Comics #402
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAdventure Comics #402 brings a genuinely surprising twist to Supergirl's corner of the DC universe — the cover by Mike Sekowsky and Dick Giordano shows the Maid of Might in full costume, distracted in a romantic embrace with a young man named Derek, while just behind them a bank robbery unfolds in broad daylight, complete with armed criminals and fleeing bystanders. Derek's smug aside — "That's just the way it was planned, baby!" — makes clear the romance may be anything but innocent, teasing a story where Supergirl's heart could be her greatest vulnerability. It's a bold, pulpy composition that blends soap-opera emotion with street-level danger, very much of its 1971 moment.
