Synopsis for Supergirl: "Now... Comes Zond"

Feeling down, Linda Danvers goes shopping. During her tour of the city's boutiques she coincidentally finds the store Diana Prince, the former Wonder Woman, runs since she lost her powers.

Some while later, Linda drives back to the Stanhope College campus, and hears a girl had been found in a zombie-like state on the campus is at the hospital, still in a comatose state.

Supergirl decides to go into a trance and probe her memories to ascertain the cause of her state. She learns that girl was terrified into catatonia by a being named Zond whom she met at a witches' coven.

Supergirl tracks down the coven and confronts Zond, but his magic powers defeat her and shred her costume somewhat. Supergirl consults with Wonder Woman, and has her ask her old foe Morgana the Witch for help. Since Zond is a common enemy, and her mother's former stable-boy, Morgana agrees.

Supergirl gets a new uniform from Wonder Woman's boutique before she goes with the other women to the next coven meeting. Morgana takes care of Zond's magic, and Supergirl kicks him around the block. Morganna leaves with Zond, but not before releasing his victim from her fear-trance.

Synopsis for Supergirl: "Supergirl Meets Nasty"

Lex Luthor deputizes his niece Nasthalthia, or Nasty for short, to terrorize Stanhope with her motorcycle gang, Nasty's Nasties. Their objective: flush out Supergirl and discover her secret identity.

It backfires, as Supergirl tracks down Luthor and imprisons him again. Then she takes Nasty and her gang on a harrowing series of carnival rides, hyped by her super-powers. She warns the gang sternly not to try their terror tactics again, but Nasty later promises to strike again in the future.

Notes

  • Supergirl receives a new costume this issue, based upon ideas and sketches submitted by fans to DC. The authors of these models are revealed in the next issue.
  • Supergirl somehow reads the mind of a comatose sorority girl by going into a trance in this issue. This is inconsistent with her power set as demonstrated in other appearances.
