Adventure Comics #412 (DC)
John Albano (w) Art Saaf (a)
One of the reasons I picked this book up was because of the costume Supergirl was wearing. A one piece rather than the skirt she was always given both then and now. It was something I just hadn't seen before. Other than than the costume this was just another standard Supergirl adventure.
In The Battle for Survival Supergirl is forced to go to the Planet Liquel II by a villain who has infected some Earth men with insect poison and they will die unless Kara agrees to act as her champion in a contest. Being the girl scout off Supergirl goes.
Her gigantic opponent is easily overcome and then a power struggle arises between the factions seeking control of the Planet. Zogg takes control and uses the ultimate weapon against Supergirl. Except it doesn't harm her a jot. As usual all ends well with Glynix admitting she lied about the poison get Supergirls help.
A fairly typical DC plot back in the day. Just asking for help seems to be beyond so many advanced aliens. Just saying.
There is a good reason to pick up this book for your collection as it contains a reprint of the origin of Animal Man, though he does not not adopt that identity in the back up feature I Was The Man With Animal Powers. A reprint from Strange Adventures #180. Buddy wouldn't don a costume until Strange Adventures #190
