Adventure Comics #385

Adventure Comics #385 (On Sale: August 28, 1969) has a cover by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson.

Inside we have two Supergirl stories. The first is "Supergirl's Big Sister" by Cary Bates and Kurt Schaffenberger. Supergirl follows an alien spaceship as it lands on Earth. Out pops Kranna, who says she is glad to see Supergirl as she is her sister.  Kranna displays a number of super powers and explains how she was super even on Krypton and that some aliens took her when she was young and wiped the memory of her from her parent's minds. As you might guess, it is all some half-ass ploy by Carol Benton to get Supergirl to create diamonds for her. I'd go into more detail, but, it's really not worth learning.

The second is "The Jilting of Supergirl" by Cary Bates, Winslow Mortimer and Jack Abel. This is an exercise in why Jack Abel should not have been inking anyone. It is really bad. Winslow was not the most dynamic of pencilers, but no one deserved this.
