Unlike Mike, when I read this when I was a kid, I was quite in touch with the story, and saw the previous panel triplicate girl had split up and told her other two selves to run away. The following panel with her 1/3 self being blurred out was kind of not very heart pounding to me (with apologies to Mike). In fact it just backs up what Mike said now, and as I recognized it when I read it at the time: the cover was being deceptive.Honeybee9https://www.blogger.com/profile/00272834918553631309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-12917481779934074142018-05-20T12:45:40.776-04:002018-05-20T12:45:40.776-04:00Heh, very true!

Although lots of things were teased on Silver Age covers that either did not happen inside or happened with a twist.Mike Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627891277174726157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-42264385239566677172018-05-20T11:40:02.651-04:002018-05-20T11:40:02.651-04:00This issue was missing from my dad's collectio...This issue was missing from my dad's collection of Adventure comics he gave me when I was a kid. But I DID have the following issue, and I always assumed that Triplicate Girl's death must have been more dramatic here. Then I finally found a copy last year, and ... nope. You can barely even see it -- I think the panel is actually larger in the next itssue's recap!Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110849730431679786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-41964042574806396432018-05-18T22:24:03.792-04:002018-05-18T22:24:03.792-04:00Regarding the death of Triplicate Girl: "That...Regarding the death of Triplicate Girl: "That is truly an amazing cliffhanger for that era. Despite the history of Lightning Lad having been killed, I don't think many readers would have likely truly believed her dead. It just happened so quickly at the end of the story, I wonder how many even processed what they were seeing correctly. On the other hand, I know for me, if I was reading it as a young collector, I would have definitely been freaked out by that panel. So I don't really know. In any event, for me, it was a very powerful moment in a very intense story."--For goodness sake Mike. It's on the Cover!!!<br />Not only the image but Computo says on the cover "I am destroying Triplicate Girl". Honeybee9https://www.blogger.com/profile/00272834918553631309noreply@blogger.com
