Fucking Comics - Superman's Girlfriend is Fucking Psycho

As a follow up to my look at Jimmy Olson comics, I now present to you a look at the world of Lois Lane. In the 1950's, as I have said countless times on this very site, super-hero books were not popular. Most spandex clad characters disappeared, of the few that survived this time the most popular happened to be Superman. How stories about an indestructible man who could fly and shoot x-rays from his eyes who had no enemy that could beat him could capture peoples imaginations for decades on end is beyond me.

Anyway, Superman would appear in his own title, Action Comics, and had Superboy stories appear in Adventure Comics. You'd figure that would be enough Superman related comics for a kid right? I mean how rich did they think they were? These comics cost fucking dime per issue!

But no, so popular was Superman, DC Comics said "Hey let's make more Superman comic books!" and so they made Superman's Pal Jimmy Olson into a monthly feature. Now they figured that wasn't enough and they wanted to try to finagle more readers (probably even try to get a female readership) so they came up with Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane. At that sort of break neck speed, it's a surprised they didn't come up with Superman's Neighbor Mr. Thomas or Superman's Proctologist Dr. Raymond or why not even Superman's Financial Planner Steve at H&R Block? But I digress....

At any rate, if you haven't guessed it, I'm going to be taking a look at old issues of Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane and I'm going to con our very own Nurse Em into psychoanalyzing them, because apparently there is some sort of merit in psychoanalyzing comic book characters from the 50's. I don't know what that merit is... probably curing cancer or saving dolphins or something... but that's all conjecture at this moment because we should plug along to the point of this little review, and that's taking a look at Lois lane and learn what her malfunctions are.

Just as with our Jimmy Olson review, where we found items that proved my theory that Jimmy Olson is a life wrecking idiot, we're going to find instances that prove that Lois Lane might not be all right in the head. To add a little icing on the cake this time around, our very own Nurse Em will be dispensing her knowledge of mental disorders that might be the root of Miss Lanes problems and prescriptions that will help Lois stop acting like such a fucking psycho and behave like the rest of us. I would like to add that Nurse Em is a highly qualified psycho analyst and has a masters degree in Hypochndria! I Just hope the Daily Planet has a good medical plan, because I get the feeling that there is going to be a very large pharmacy tab at the end of this one folks!

So without further adue, let's go onto the next part of our review.
