Tails of the Super-Pets (Action Comics (1938-2011)) by Jerry Siegel
Five stars for nostalgia and silliness of the Silver Age of comics
Particularly amusing in an era when facts are regularly submitted, via highly ideological media outlets, to the Bizarro World treatment. Highly recommended.
pleasingly goofy and enjoyable. like reading comfort food. a few really silly ones here, my fav being Jimmy Olson wishing for superman to "mate" his parents
Some of this old DC stuff is really weird. Good weird, y'know? But weird.
It was fun reading Lois over decades, and seeing her go from kick-butt girl reporter, to flibbertigibbet housewife and back. I think some of the bizarre 50's stuff was my favorite. (Cringey, but fun!) "Lois gets fat and worries Superman won't love her."
It was fairly amazing that Lois got SO FAT in that story that Superman grunted when picking her up! (That's pretty fat!)
Lois enters a magic box and turns black for 24 hours was pretty hysterical, too.
Anyway--Lois is what keeps Clark on the ground, and she's a pretty good character on her own. This was a fun read.… (more)
