BABE Of The DAY - LOIS LANE...


Copyright DC COMICS

How did they get away with it?  A barely clothed Lois Lane, reclining in a dreamy, satisfied way while tiny characters seek to enslave her by tying her down.  (So what's not to like?)  I think the Comics Code Authority must've been looking the other way when this cover was prepared - and thank goodness they were.  So what's the story about?  Are you kidding - who the hell cares?  It's a fit burd in a swimming costume pressing all the right buttons.  And that's why Lois is today's Babe of the Day.

LOIS LANE IN 25 CENTS, 52 PAGE, BIGGER & BETTER COMICS COVER GALLERY...

Okay, I'll admit from the off - I probably bought Lois Lane mainly for the sexy drawings of her on the covers at this time, but also because it was a Superman mag in all but name.  Well all right, his name was on the cover, though it was smaller than Lois's, but she sure looked good flaunting her feminine charms in these alluring images (#121 aside).  Issue #113 (below) wasn't one of the 25 cents 52 pagers - it was a 35 cents 68 Giant issue, but I've included it here so as not to interrupt the numbering.

I didn't realize until I dug them out for scanning how tired, condition-wise, some of the covers are, so I'm going to have to consider upgrading to better copies in the not-too-distant future before the prices go up, but they'll do meantime for the purpose of this post.  Were you brave (and lust-driven) enough - like me - to buy what was probably considered a comic for girls back in the '70s, or did you stick with the obvious comics for boys?  (Superman, Batman, and all the Jack Kirby titles, etc.)

Feel free to unburden your soul for buying such near-pornography in our understanding and forgiving comments section.
