Comments:
Supergirl first meets Comet the Super-Horse in this story. Comet appeared briefly with the Legion of Super-Pets in the first story of Adventure Comics #293, but this story takes place first chronologically.

This story continues in part in the second story of Action Comics #293.

Synopsis:
Supergirl dreams about a super-horse named Comet. The horse has super-powers and is not vulnerable to Kryptonite. It also has a comet-shaped mark on its back. When Supergirl visits a dude ranch, she meets a stallion that looks exactly like the horse in her dream including the comet-shaped mark. This horse also exhibits super-powers and knows Supergirl’s secret identity. Supergirl is puzzled as to the origin of the horse and how she came to dream about him.
