In "Lois Lane -- Super-Babysitter", I love the idea that Lois and Lana both assume that the super baby must be Superman, de-aged by Superman's experiment gone wrong. I guess, based on how often things like that happened in the Silver Age, the assumption is justified, but they never even considered any other possibility, even though the Silver Age was full of all sorts of possible explanations, like magic, other-dimensional imps, Red Kryptonite, a baby Bizarro (Didn't Bizarro babies start out life looking like normal human babies?), a shape-changing alien admirer of Superman, etc. In any case, each woman decided this was the perfect opportunity to brainwash the supposed Superman into marrying her once he was restored to his normal self. Now, there's a solid foundation for a happy marriage!
ReplyDeleteIn "The Return of Lois' Monster Sweetheart", it was good to see Herko again. I still remember that heartbreaking moment from his first appearance, when he was shown pining for Lois after he'd returned to his home. I'm glad Herko ended up with a good match. He deserved better than Lois, I think.
