Just For Fun/Lois Lane 106

In the early 1970's comic books decided to become "relevant" and felt the need to deal with more complex social and racial issues. Here's the cover of Lois Lane 106 (Nov. 1970). In search of a story, Lois decides that she needs to live as a black woman for 24 hours and with Superman's help is able to achieve a transformation. As expected she is treated poorly by some and better by others.. All in all a bizarre scenerio.
The splash page.
I Am Curious (Black) is a play on a well known Swedish film of the period that was banned in several countries, I Am Curious (Yellow).

Curt Swan -Just For Fun


In my opinion, Curt Swan was the definitive artist on Superman Comics
through the 60's and 70's.
His crisp anatomical style defined the look of the character
and inspired a generation of new artists.
Here is a page of original art that I bought recently. From Superboy 10,1990.
Somewhat less expensive than most of Swan's original work.
this page doesn't actually show Superboy in uniform.
The cover.
