Supergirl (1996) Annual #2

Annual 1997. “Pulp Heroes” continues with this tribute to the romance magazines of the 1930s. In a story by Peyer, Castrillo and Ensign, Supergirl, stumped by inexplicable phenomena suddenly occurring all around Leesburg, turns to the Legion of Super-Heroes’ Brainiac 5 for help. Unfortunately, Supergirl may be in greater danger when the young, super-intelligent Legionnaire immediately falls head over heels for the Girl of Steel! In a back-up story by Dixon, Land and Rollins, Supergirl becomes the subject of affection from a Leesburg resident, who doesn’t realize he has a secret admirer of his own. And he may never find out, either, as his infatuation for Supergirl could get him killed!

Written by Tom Peyer and Chuck Dixon. Art by Anthony Castrillo, Greg Land, Jordi Ensign and Prentis Rollins. Painted cover by Joe Chiodo.
