Superman's Girlfriend- Lois Lane #106 (Nov. 1970, DC)


Whenever any fanboy starts going on and on about Jimmy Olsen's numerous transformations in his Silver Age title...I like to bring up this little gem...

Now, Lois wasn't beneath metamorphism. Several times in her own book, she shape-shifted into many wacky forms, usually involving either her turning "ugly", losing her hair, or fat....because as we all know, Superman is a shallow person and wouldn't be smitten with her anymore if any of these scenarios should happen. Just see the Superdickery website for such examples...

Not this time, though. Lois got some soul....and turned black. No shit.

I'm gonna stop right here, because any plot summery I provide cannot possibly capture the real thing. Just read it....and give some thought about DC attempting social change through stories like this. Makes one wonder if they were helping or hindering the cause....
