Owner's Description
Superman #81 is referenced in Geoffrey Wagner’s “Parade of Pleasure” (POP) in the text on page 88.
Wagner, describing his research on superhero comics, provides the following description in a footnote on page 88 “Although I did not, in my research, discover a Superwoman comic itself, I discovered Superwoman in several other comics. In Superman no 81 this Amazon visits earth from Zor; she is called ‘Tharka’ and equally announces the new womanhood along with Wonder Woman – ‘Tharka is a mutation, a Zorian born ahead of her time, who has super-powers!”
Ironically, the story that Wagner referenced, “The Superwoman from Space”, is all about Superman helping Tharka save face by assisting her in accomplishing super deeds as, unbeknownst to her, her superpowers are inactive on Earth.
