* FullyAbsorbedFinale: ''ComicBook/Supergirl1982'' was cancelled with the expectation that Kara's adventures would go on in a new title called ''DC Double Comics'', so that Paul Kupperberg did not bother to resolve any of his ongoing plotlines and they remained unresolved when DC's plans fell through. Dick Malverne's sudden and unexpected return didn't get a resolution until this story was published in the ''Solo (Volume 1)'' magazine twenty-one years later, and it was the complete opposite of what Kupperberg intended.

"Young Love" is a ''ComicBook/{{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.

-->'''Dick:''' And I'm sorry I never made it back to see you a couple weeks ago. The doctor's appointment left me pretty shook up. I'm dying.\\
'''Linda:''' No.
* MythologyGag: The first half of the story shows several scenes of the life of Linda Danvers: her arrival on Earth (Action Comics #252), Dick Wilson -later Malverne- taking a picture of her accidentally (Action Comics #256), Linda and Dick meeting again after several years (Supergirl Vol 2 #23)…

* SecretIdentity: Kara's secret identity is Linda Lee (Linda Danvers after being adopted).

* SecretSecretKeeper: Dick knew Linda was Supergirl all along.
-->'''Supergirl:''' Mr. Malverne? You asked to see me...?\\
