"Young Love" is a Supergirl 2004 short story published in Solo Vol 1 issue #1, written by Diana Schutz with art by Tim Sale. It picked up a plot thread left dangling from the original Supergirl's story, bringing it to a powerful and heart-wrenching conclusion.Kara Zor-El/Linda Lee (later Danvers) and Dick Wilson (later Malverne) grew up together in the Midvale Orphanage. They dated through college, but they grew apart after Linda (alias Supergirl) moved to San Francisco.Several years later they meet again. Dick has several things to tell the young Kryptonian woman before his time runs out. And Supergirl remembers an earlier love during simpler times.Reviewed here.Not to be confused with the DC romance comics series of the same name. | |

No Romantic Resolution | |
| Young Love (Comic Book) / int_bf00b603 | comment |
No Romantic Resolution: Kara's second solo book ended with Dick Malverne showing up and kissing her all of sudden. Readers never got to see Kara's reaction because the series was abruptly cancelled and the character killed two years later (DC had plans for a relaunching but they never materialized). Several decades later writer Paul Kupperberg revealed that Supergirl would turn Dick down. “Young Love” finally gave that plot a –very different- resolution. | |
