Adventure Comics #420 (1972)

Its a mish-mash of stories this week with Supergirl taking the helm. First up, she ends up on a planet of, like, four dudes. There are these three evil scientists bros who keep trying to kill this puke-colored Adonis guy who gets all inappropriate with Supergirl. Everyone dies, Supergirl does nothing and leaves.

Then we FINALLY work in an Animal Man story where Buddy confronts bank robbers. Turns out in early Animal Man, Buddy had to be pretty much right next to the animal in order to get its powers. Even though there are birds and worms everywhere, Buddy can’t seem to do squat and has to fight around the docks where the zoo animals arrive.

Lastly, we have two more stories. One is about a bunch of space golems protecting treasure by turning everyone into stone. The other is about Superman when he got turned into a dragon. Supergirl arrives, does nothing and leaves.
