Lois Looming Large #1 Burger Edition

I really loved the old Lois Lane books, not as much as those wild and crazy Jimmy Olsen books, but they were some of the best books around. One thing I enjoyed, besides how gorgeous and expressive Kurt Schaffenberger drew Lois, was the way in every story, almost always at the end, Lois would loom large in the foreground while we got to see some other action off in the background. It was great, expressive Lois emoting right in our face, her friends waaaay off in the distance, oblivious to the poor girls suffering/emoting/loving.

From Lois Lane #1 1958, "Lois Lane, Super-Chef"

Is it just me or does it look like Superman is just a torso cut in half and plopped onto the desk?

So, the Daily Planet is a great place to work, probably the best in Metropolis. Every day you can walk in and get to work with no interruptions, right? Except when Lois Lane walks in with a lead-lined box on her head!!! The first thing I think is "how did she get a solid plate of metal over her head?" Then I thought "What happens when she sneezes?" Then I thought "What if she has to fish a big booger outta her nose?" and then I thought"Why would she do that?" (See, I got my priorities in order)

Why would any woman do that? Lois had exposed a fake mystic named Circe who retaliated and put upon Lois the only reason that would make any woman put a box on her head...

..she gave her the head of a cat!!!

Let the catty remarks begin!!
ouch!

This is one ad I wish was in color. It's a full page on the inside back cover of a 1968 Plastic Man.

Weekly Wonderous Moment in Comics #28

Ok, so Lois Lane is interviewing this crazy scientist that has created a serum that will make a person super-strong AND invulnerable. He has just demonstrated this super-rabbit that he has created and then gives the serum to Lois.
Lois takes it home and discovers Lana Lang waiting on her doorstep, asking if she can spend the weekend since her apartment is being painted. Lois agrees and then tells Lana about this serum. Later Lana takes a bath and, of course, bathes in the serum.
She becomes super strong and invulnerable. Lois slaps Lana's face and almost breaks her hand! Lana ends up helping Superman do all sorts of charity stunts, but sometimes things go wrong, like her dress catches fire, or she gets shot with a bunch of kryptonite bullets whe she steps between Superman and some hoods.

Lois eventually decides that she should 'help' Lana and starts arranging all sorts of charity fundraisers where Lana pulls several locomotives or lifts a dozen strongmen over her head or juggles elephants, that sort of thing. But then no-one see Lana for a few months until Superman & Lois bust down Lana's dressing room door.

The phone ringing is the scientist calling Lois to say that he lost the formula for the serum and to 'never mind' about the whole thing. Does Lana stay this she-hulk she has become?

Nope, Superman can whip up an counteracting serum just like that! The best part? The look on Lois's face. THAT is one evil bitch!!!
