Consider this: 1. She's always flipping for other men and often marries them - sort of. 2. She's always trying to find out his secret identity. 3. She's always recklessly putting herself in danger, assuming he'll always be there to save her. 4. She treats his alter ego, Clark Kent, like dirt. 5. She conspires with Lana Lang to trick him into choosing between them. If I were him, I would be glad to be rid of her. This way he could make time with Wonder Woman, who is ideal for him.

[@fazbearfanatic4358]

I honestly like how determined Lois was to separate herself from Superman and her obsession with him. Considering how she would sometimes switch on a whim between Superman and other guys, as well as the erratic and extreme nature of their relationship, it was really refreshing for them to acknowledge that their relationship was actually pretty messed up, and kind of exploring how it emotionally affected Lois.

[@nctpti2073]

Since Clark acts like he made mistakes saving those other women, since they were not actually Lois, does that imply he simply lets anyone else die, even when he is conveniently there to save them?

[@frogmouth2]

I love how the first issue treats rand as this perfect guy that can do no wrong and is perfect for Lois but then the second issue starts rewriting history with her apparently not being into him really at all.

[@JKevinCarrier]

I'm fascinated by these sort of "transitional" comics, moving from the Silver Age to the Bronze Age. It's still got a lot of the contrivances of the Silver Age, but there's a little more...emotional nuance? Self-reflection? They come right out and say how messed up Superman and Lois' relationship is, and even though the status quo is restored by the end, they don't really address or refute any of those problems. Lois gradually becomes less wacky and marriage-obsessed through the '70s and '80s, and this feels like a significant (if halting) first step in that process.

[@jayfinch5430]

"If you leave Neal Adams alone, the crazy goes up by at least five points" The Neal Adams written & illustrated 'Batman: Odyssey' is proof of that!

Yes, so not Lois type.

[@willowbarrelmaker8269]

Interesting that "The first half is much better than the second" seems to be kind of a running theme with these silver age Lois Lane comics. Makes me wonder if time pressures forced them to write the first part before they had a clear idea of how it was going to resolve.

[@BainesMkII]

Creating a catchy set-up is easier than creating a satisfying resolution for that set-up.

[@andrefantin832]

There is also the necessity of getting back to the status quo at the end. It may hinders the full potential of a premise. Tv shows as far as the 2010's faced this same narrative difficulties.

[@benevolentremnant2949]

I think you nailed it in your riff about the Silver Age. The tone really is hard to duplicate: such a weird type of innocent, straightforward reportage about absurd, suggestive situations. And apparently choosing female characters' new hairstyles was a thing at Silver Age DC? They pulled the same reader vote stunt for Supergirl (in her Linda Lee identity). Anybody know of any others?

[@richmcgee434]

Pretty sure Wonder Woman went through the same hairstyle poll thing at one point. You're spot on about the whole feel of real Silver Age and modern attempts to recreate it feeling off even when the effort is sincere rather than parody or mockery. It's just not something you can reproduce perfectly, the world has changed too much over time. The closest I've seen to "getting it" have been a few homages to Kirby's work - Godland, for ex.

[@aldinbaroza9640]

@@richmcgee434 Yeah. I think the big difference between actual Silver Age stories and modern attempts is a) the professional attitudes of the writers then as compared to now, and b) who the intended audience was. Silver Age writers did not consider their comics work professionally significant or fulfilling, as comic book writing was their day job as they tried to establish themselves in other, more lucrative areas. They saw their work in comics as completely disposable. Secondarily, the intended audience is different. The Silver Age guys were writing for kids; the modern writers of Silver Age pastiche are writing for adult readers who either remember reading the old stuff, or who have seen blog posts or videos about it. The nostalgia element is always there in the modern attempts, whereas the actual Silver Age stories were drawing on the feel and style of tall tales and fables that would have been familiar to kids of the era. A different set of expectations entirely.

[@richmcgee434]

@@aldinbaroza9640 Mostly agreed, although it's going much too far to say that all creators during the Silver Age looked at comics as beneath them or something they'd leave behind as soon as possible. While that's true of many of the lesser talents, it obviously doesn't apply to people like Kirby, Infantino, Ditko, etc. There were people who took true joy in what they were doing and were happy to make a career of it. Equally, it's undeniable that many modern creators are in it solely for the hope of making a name for themselves and getting a fortune from Hollywood. The majority of them get exactly what they deserve - nothing. Every generation has its share of hacks who just want a paycheck. Spot on about how faux nostalgia always rings false, though.

[@aldinbaroza9640]

@@richmcgee434 Sure. It's hard to not generalize when I'm trying to not write a 20K-word post on it, lol. But even a guy like Kirby who loved the medium was trying to sell newspaper strip ideas like Sky Masters. And today you can be both a comic book writer AND a movie or TV screenwriter; comic books today aren't as ghettoized as it was during the Silver Age.

[@aldinbaroza9640]

It's not as if all the Silver Age writers were hacks, although I did joke about that in another post. It's just that that generation looked at comics as a job. The first generation of comics fandom who ended up working in comics started in the Bronze Age (I know it's a fuzzy boundary since ppl like Roy Thomas and Shooter kind of straddled both eras), and they brought that love of nostalgia with them.

[@JonPaulMaki]

The cover for 80 might not stand out? Excuse you? It's quite possibly my favorite comic book cover of all time.

[@Tiggeralt]

You can really see how comic storytelling changed as the silver age went on. The "weird & wacky" impression mostly comes from the early silver age, with later comics becoming more melodramatic and character-driven. I think a lot of that is due to Marvel's influence on the industry. After all, Stan Lee wrote soap opera comics before he wrote superheroes.

[@miguelbayonrivera2467]

To me, late silver age feels more like the transition into the bronze age, kinda like a hybrid era.

[@nicholashodges201]

It's the same with early silver age transitioning out of the golden when the stories started being more science fiction based until "Seduction of the Innocents was published. There was no hard shift until that damned book came out, then things got weird out of necessity

After the coverage of all these Lois Lane stories I think finally have set in my mind why she is always so quickly moving into these marriage's. Probably hard to find a guy interested in her because if I read her news stories everyday, though exciting, I wouldn't want to be constantly caught up in danger. I would think more guys than Superman would possibly block her advances and when that fishing hook actually catches something even if it is a blue gill of a man wanting to marry her I don't think she would pass up on it in the Silver Age.

It's the most messed up Superman story I've ever seen, featuring Clark faking his suicide and Superman giving his (own) eulogy ENTIRELY TO MAKE LOIS FEEL BAD FOR NOT DATING CLARK. There's no valuable lesson, no convoluted plan to actually help Lois or catch some bad guys, just straight up meant to leave Lois overcome with guilt for not wanting to date such a Nice Guy as Clark Kent. I bet you would tear the story to shreds and I would love to see it!

[@richmcgee434]

Lois keeping the same initials with her new identity also fits in with a hokey trope in fiction from this era, particularly common in the crime/mystery genre, where people who use an alias supposedly can't resist using the same initials. It's often excused with "all my stuff is monogrammed" and not being able to, y'know, just buy a new suitcase or whatever, and of course it also shows how criminals are creatures of habit (as well as being cowardly and afraid of bats, of course). In real life it's utter bullshit, but you still see it bandied about as an urban myth even today. Cops wish people were that stupid when they try to conceal their identities...

[@KristopherBel]

I recently watched a bunch if TV from the 50s and they did this a couple times where people were caught by their monograms being the same as their old name. And at least one case where they had changed their name to their victims initials so that they could keep and use their fancy stuff all monogrammed of course, and eventually that's how the detective catches the handsome but lazy/stupid criminal. I guess monogram culture was way more prevalent in the past, it's not something I ever think of.

"Lois Lorne" 😄 as in lovelorn? The Lois Lane, Superman's Girlfriend episodes are fantastic. Sasha's take on the characters is nuanced.

[@wolfekupo5651]

wait what was this about Jimmy eating statues and using them to turn into a wolfman?

[@chriswest6988]

Both covered in other ones of her videos iirc. The short version is: Superman keeps giving Jimmy souvenirs from his adventures, and he really shouldn't, because Jimmy is incredibly irresponsible with them every time. He is less trustworthy around cursed treasure than Boromir carrying Abu the monkey.

You might say Lois was...love Lorne.

Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I'll run from you This toxic love you've given I give you all a girl could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all Toxic love (oh) Toxic love

[@JohnQ5]

Justice for Rand! I think you nailed his internal thoughts.

[@justicierodelaliga]

Love how Sasha always makes my day. And, as usual, reinforces my love for comics. Sasha, please do a review of the Grant Morrison 's run on Green Lantern. PS How come old comics has so much content?

[@harryschlitz4067]

Kudos Always to Sasha.

[@edwardsanko6396]

Wow, that was an intense episode. I don't think I could read a hundred issues of Lois running around trying to get married. I thought the twist with Rand would be that he was Lex Luthor taking advantage of Lois.

[@andrewnewsome4277]

I think this might be one of my new favorite Lois Lane stories.

[@timmckee6340]

you know somehow I just KNEW that her initials would still be LL 6:31 wooo aim high sister!

[@pantone41]

The way you read the dialogue is hilarious.
