Description
The Super-Amazon!
After Supergirl has some disenchanting experiences with men, she flies by Paradise Island, where she saves Nubia and Queen Hippolyte from some Shark-Men. In gratitude, Hippolyte asks Kara to become an Amazon. Supergirl passes the tests with flying colors and is made an official Amazon and the honorary daughter of Queen Hippolyte. But Nubia has been bitten by a Shark-Man and poisoned, and the only antidote is an herb growing on Corigi Island. Supergirl must fetch the herb, enduring an adventure on the way, and gets it to Nubia in time to save her life. However, she feels her self-imposed isolation on Paradise Island would deprive the world of her services, so she elects to return to Man's World.
