i think the tie -in is merely as a "prototype" for supergirl. this wasn't an infamous imaginary tale.

 

it's a 3 part story;

 

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

 

an archeologist is trapped ina cave-in and after superman and jimmy olson save him he offers to reward supes, who asks him to give Jimmy a souvenir instead.

he picks an old Totem that is supposed to grant 3 wishes every century. he's in luck and decides to wish for a super companion for his buddy supes. she materializes out of the Totem and only lasts thru the first chapter.

 

chapter 2 deals with crooks who steal the totem and wish supes powers away and chapter 3 deals with jimmy wishing supes back to krypton to see his family. typical 1959 DC stuff.............. grin.gif

Torrential rains, a flood... disaster. Where there is a disaster, we will always find Superman. And where we find Superman, we can usually find Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. While Jimmy busies himself piloting the Flying Newsroom, a huge helicopter converted to get stories first-hand, Lois decides to parachute into the melee (wearing her hat, high heels and dress). Unfortunately, her parachute fails to open, and Superman leaves the flood victims to streaks and catch her in the nick of time. Heading back to the Flying Newsroom, Lois cuddles into Superman's arms, oblivious to the rain and the flood below. "I'd like to be in your arms always, Superman, as your wife..." she sighs. "Uh, sorry Lois, but you know the answer to that... Only a Super-Girl could keep up with me!" explains Superman. Hearing that, Jimmy begins to feel sorry for Superman, wishing that he could make a Super-Girl appear to keep his pal company.

 

A few days later, Superman rescues an archaeologist who was trapped in a cave by a landslide. The professor offers to reward Superman, but Superman tells him to give Jimmy the souvenir. That night the Professor comes to Jimmy's apartment with a totem, and explains that the inscription on the totem reads, "Once every century, magic totem grants three wishes when jewel is rubbed under a full moon." Looking out the window, Jimmy sees that there is a full moon, and decides to try it that night. Once he is alone, Jimmy rubs the jewel, and true to his promise wishes for a Super-Girl, with super-powers equal to Superman's, to appear and become his companion.

 

When nothing happens, Jimmy laughs and walks away, not noticing that in the glow of the moonlight something has, indeed, begun to happen. A ghostly shape begins to take form, and solidify. Then, a beautiful girl, wearing a costume similar to Superman's appears. "Go and join Superman on the morrow," booms the totem. "I obey, totem spirit," says the girl, who flies out of the window.

 

The next day, Superman sees a plane falling out of control. As he rushes to save the falling plane, a terrific backwash nearly knocks Superman out of the sky. Looking up, Superman is surprised to a girl steadying the plane. "I am Super-Girl," she says.

 

Once they land the plane, Super-Girl explains that Jimmy had wished for her, that she was there to help Superman, and be his constant companion. With that, she puts her arms around Superman. "Are you glad I'm here?" she asks. "Eh... let's not rush things, Super-Girl," mutters the embarrassed Man of Steel.

 

Back at the Daily Planet, Jimmy had brought his totem to show off and tells Lois what he had wished for. To his surprise, Superman and Super-Girl fly in through the window, amazing Jimmy, but stunning Lois. With a Super-Girl around, her chances of marrying Superman have just flown out the window. Lois looks at the totem, and remembers that the archeologist had told her that all she had to do to cancel a wish was to rub the magic jewel again. Embarrassed at her selfishness, Lois tearfully realizes that if she did that, not only would Superman lose Super-Girl, but that he would still not marry her.

 

The transition from lone Superman to super-team is a hard one for Superman and Super-Girl. When they attempt to put out a warehouse fire, the effect of their combined super-breath blows the roof off of the building. Later, when a teller accidentally locks himself in a bank vault Super-Girl adds her x-ray vision to Superman's to make the metal melt faster, only producing an explosion. When they both arrive to stop an elevator from falling, they bump heads in the elevator shaft.

 

Realizing that Super-Girl has all of his powers, Superman decides to let Super-Girl handle things herself so he can spend more time as Clark Kent. Walking down the street with Lois Lane, Super-Girl flies over. After noticing the similarities between Clark's face and that of Superman, she uses her x-ray vision and discovers his costume under Clark's clothes. "Well, hello there Superman," she calls out to Clark, who is standing right in front of Lois. Hurriedly avoiding Lois' questions, Superman flies after Super-Girl and angrily tells her to stay out of his way.

 

Upset, Superman flies out of town, where he sees a washed-out bridge and off in the distance the Metropolis Express speeds onward. Superman decides to hold that section of the track up, not knowing that it was a trap. From an airplane above, two crooks throw a piece of Kryptonite onto the tracks, weakening Superman. Super-Girl uses her super-breath to force the plane down, then swoops down to grab the Kryptonite. "I'll remove the Kryptonite," she says. "You see, not having been born on Krypton like you, I'm immune to the stuff."

 

Super-Girl can fly only a short distance before she is also weakened. Being an exact duplicate of Superman, Kryptonite weakens her as well, and it takes all of her strength to crawl away.

 

Making her way to Jimmy's apartment, Super-Girl tells Jimmy that she got too close to the Kryptonite, and realizing that she would not recover begs him to rub the jewel and cancel the wish. Reluctantly, he follows her wishes. As she fades away, Super-Girl sobs, "Give my love to Superman," and she is drawn into the mysterious limbo from which she came.

 

At the office the next day, Jimmy explains the strange story to Lois and Clark. Wondering if Superman will ever marry her, Lois begins to walk away but notices a note on her desk. "Dear Lois! I've fallen madly in love with you! But I'm too shy to pop the question in person... Will you marry me?" But, Clark Kent signed the note. Looking at Clark, Lois figures that if Superman were really Clark Kent, he would never propose. "That's Sweet of you Clark, but I could marry you only if you were really Superman." Clark smiles. He had figured she would react that way. But what if she had accepted?

Here is one I just sold same upper corner water stain too. I think I did pretty well on this auction. I sold it as a lot but at $30 per book not too shabby.
