Don't even pretend you were 'teaching Lois a lesson', Superman! Silver-Age Lois was all about the subtext.
According to the recent Infinite Crisis series reboot Superman and Power girl are confirmed blood-relatives. Yuck. Good thing Captain Taboo showed up to put a stop to things.
They say that to make it, you need talent and ambition.
Well, I got a TV show, and this was my audition:
Umm ... okay ... what was it? ... umm ...
Don't tell me ... Oh, yeah, okay.

Man, Scully looks bored.
She's probably been in a war zone for 2 years and can't muster the energy to pretend this is the first time she has heard that line.

Great cover with the looming doors. Kind of a downer, though. This issue must have flown off the shelves because it was probably easier to just leave this book lying around the kid's bedrooms than actually explain why Daddy is living in a hotel.
I bet Silver-Age Supergirl built an entire planet covered with a carefully manicured lawn in order to have a place large enough to store all her fossilized boy toys. Notice how the cover blurb has separated 'Boy' and 'Friend' in order to appear less provacative.
Supergirl doesn't have a boyfriend she is doing 'it' with.
She has a friend who just happens to be a boy and they remain chaste and proper at all times.

She had to be paid to tempt men, because Lord knows, it is extremely difficult to get a sailor to pick up low rent skating rink prostitutes.
Regarding the third cover, the one for Candy, it seems someone is working on the followup:

"It's okay, sir - Lois comes from a planet that spins faster than...I mean, it orbits slower than...I mean, she's from France."
ReplyDeleteSilver Age Superman art tends to feature an inordinate number of images in which he's rolling his eyes, smirking, or struggling to keep a straight face. Tricky to draw, yeah, but not exactly heroic.
Still, Schaffenberger > Byrne, anyday.
