What specific and deliberate editorial change can one find in later 1960s reprints of "Superman's Super-Courtship" (Action #289) that were not in the June 1962 original, and why?

It's got to be something to do with the "why Superman doesn't bonk Supergirl" bit... Did they delete the "I'd do someone like you" part?

My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

ha! right story... but no. The correct answer is Legion-specific rather than El-specific.

Did this story feature the Adult Legion? If it's the one where some of the Legionnaires were married to other Legionnaires, I'll guess that Imra was not married to Garth.

good guess, and in the right ballpark... but no. This story as it originally appeared was the first to show a version of Imra and Garth who were married.

Then was it Phantom Woman who was married to someone other than Colossal Man?

So to be less ambiguous: Tinya is NOT married to Jo Nah, as would later be the official mythos.

Harrumph, okay, Jo never did marry Tinya, did he? Oh well, you know what I mean.

right on the first one. The story, published with a June 1962 cover date, even predates Jo's first appearance (the following month), let alone them being a couple. Later reprints of the story would reference Tinya being married to Jo (within standard Silver Age Adult Legion lore).

Ha! I just looked up two reprints of the story and found the same thing, although the change strikes me as totally unnecessary. Kara's line--"After all, she's probably still single"--reflects only her limited knowledge at the time, not whether Phantom Woman was actually married.

Okay, speaking of Imra being married, back in the original Legion timeline (we call that preboot, yes?) Garth and Imra were abducted immediately upon departing for their honeymoon. They were taken to a colony on what body in the Sol system?
