Synopsis for Supergirl: "The Maid of Menace!"

This story is reprinted from Action Comics #304.

A super powered female villain by the name of Black Flame makes an appearance on Earth. She appears to have all of Super Girl’s abilities and even appears to control Comet the Super horse. She instructs Comet to destroy Monument Mountain in Gold Stone National Park much to the dismay of Supergirl. Black Flame reveals that she is from the year 4,000 and claims to be a descendant of Supergirl herself. She goes on to reveal that she is a queen of a pirate planet but has chosen to use her super abilities for crime rather than for good. Supergirl is distraught over the news. She decides to travel to the future to learn more about Black Flame. She learns that there is no record of any supervillain by that name and returns back to her time. Supergirl concludes that Black Flame might not be from the future but suspects that she might have originated from the bottle city of Kandor. She travels to Kandor to investigate and learns about a brilliant scientist by the name of Zora. Zora had been a friend of the super criminal Lesla-Lar who was vaporized by criminals who were testing out a disintegration gun. Supergirl finds that Zora is busy working in her lab which eliminates her as being the Black Flame. She concludes that Black Flame did not originate from Kandor. Supergirl then announces that she will use Gold Kryptonite to remove her own superpowers permanently. She reasons that if she is no longer super then she will not have super powered descendants such as the Black Flame. The super villain observes the powerless Supergirl. She then announces that she really is Zora of Kandor. She reveals that she had used a robot to take her place when Supergirl visited Kandor. Zora had escaped the bottle city to assume her identity as the Black Flame to take Supergirls place. She had used a Red Kryptonite cosmic cloud to transform herself to normal size once she escaped Kandor. The enlarging effect is only temporary and Black Flame returns back to her small Kandorian size. Even though she is small, she still retains her superpowers. She supposedly defeats the powerless Supergirl, but she is unaware that Supergirl had faked her exposure to the gold kryptonite. Supergirl reveals that she is still super and had used a fake type of gold Kryptonite to make it appear like she had no super abilities. She then scoops up the tiny Black Flame and incarcerates her in a powder compact that is filled with small grains of real gold Kryptonite. The gold kryptonite grains are enough to rob the Black Flame of her superpowers permanently. Supergirl had noticed that the Black Flame had a dental filling in her mouth when she laughed and surmised that she could not possibly be a super descendant. Super descendants would be invulnerable to drilling so Supergirl surmised that she must be Zora from Kandor. Zora is turned over to Kandor authorities as she vows revenge on Supergirl.

Synopsis for "The Girl in the Golden Flower"

This story is reprinted from Strange Adventures #18.

A tiny spore drifts down from the sky and lands in Brad Mulford’s backyard garden. Days later, Mulford notices a strange new flower growing amongst the rest of his plants. He attempts to identify it through horticultural books but has no luck. One night Mulford has a dream that he is in a strange land and notices a girl beckoning for help. The girl is being pursued by strange fireballs but the couple finds refuge in a river where the fireballs dare not venture. The girl introduces herself as Flora and Mulford notices that she has purple patches on her skin along with a red streak in her golden hair. Mulford thinks to himself that the girl looks vaguely familiar. He wakes up the next morning and realizes that he had been dreaming. He looks out the window at the strange flower that has been growing in his garden and notices that it has the same strange purple markings as the girl in the dream. After a while Mulford notices that the flower begins to wither and its leaves begin to fall off. The weather then turns bad and brings on a torrential rain as Mulford falls asleep once more. He dreams that he has returned to the same strange land but now he notices huge bursts of raindrops falling. He encounters the strange girl who seems to be passed out in a pool of water but this time she has short hair. Mulford pulls her out of the water and dries her off by building a small fire. Mulford inquires as to why she has short hair and the girl replies that the leaves had started to fall from the flower in his garden. Mulford suddenly wakes up and decides to move the strange flower to another part of the garden. This time the weather turns windy and Mulford wonders if he will have another dream. Sure enough his next dream finds him in the strange land once more struggling to fend off a powerful wind storm. He encounters Flora once more as she fights to survive the wind. He takes her to a shelter behind a rock to protect her. The next morning Mulford wakes up and places the strange flower in a protected hothouse. He realizes that the flower and his dream girl are somehow connected. Throughout the long summer Mulford travels to the strange land in his dreams on a nightly basis. He learns of other worlds from Flora and develops a relationship with her. One autumn day Flora announces that she is dying but that they will meet once more. Mulford wakes up the next morning to find that the flower from space is dead. The doorbell suddenly rings and Mulford finds a beautiful girl standing there as she introduces herself as Fora, a new Astronomy student. The girl remarks that she feels that she knows Mulford and Mulford realizes that Flora had kept her promise that they would meet again.

Synopsis for Green Lantern: "The Secret Life of Star Sapphire!"

This story is reprinted from Green Lantern (Volume 2) #16.

While out flying in her private jet, Carol Ferris is captured by the Zamarons, alien warrior women who have selected her to become their next queen based on her exact resemblance of their former ruler. Changing her into Star Sapphire, they dispatch her out into Coast City where she is to battle the Green Lantern to prove her worthiness as the Zamaron ruler.

Meanwhile, Hal Jordan and Pieface become worried since Carol has not returned from her flight and so Hal seeks to find her as Green Lantern. He ends up finding her all right, as Star Sapphire, who challenges him. Not realizing who she really is, Hal tries to dismiss her however she starts committing crimes to get his attention. Battling her, she manages to catch him off guard and he ends up being easily defeated.

Feeling she had not totally proved herself to the Zamarons, Star Sapphire requests to attack Green Lantern one more time. This time, Green Lantern is able to best her in combat. Before Green Lantern can do anymore she is teleported away by the Zamarons who find her defeat disgraceful, restore her back to normal, and return Carol to her jet. Out looking for Star Sapphire, Hal manages to find Carol instead who doesn't remember what happened to her. Before returning her home, Green Lantern finds a sapphire with a star symbol etched in it, which he takes for safe keeping.
