SUPERMAN'S GIRL FRIEND LOIS LANE 55, February 1965, was published on December 24, 1964. It contained 32 pages for the cover price of 12¢. Mort Weisinger was the editor, and the cover was drawn by Kurt Schaffenberger and lettered by Ira Schnapp. Schaffenberger was also the artist for all three stories in this issue.

Thanks for listening to the SUPERMAN FAN PODCAST and, as always, thanks to Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, creators of Superman!
And don't forget to take care of each other out there!
"Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel credited Glenda Farrell's portrayal of Torchy Blane as the inspiration for the Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane and the name of actress Lola Lane as his inspiration for Lois' name.[4] Joanne Siegel, Siegel's wife and the original model for Lois Lane, also cited Farrell's portrayal of Torchy as Siegel's inspiration for Lois"...In "The Fingergirl of Death"in Lois Lane #55 Lois masqueraded as a gangster moll by the name of "Silky Blaine" Um,coincident?
