Action Comics No. 438 – A Monster Named Lois Lane!

These DC comics always had such great covers, but then you actually read the story, and the story hinges on Lois Lane having a cold and Superman finding a cure using “advanced Kryptonian science.”

A jewel from space turns Lois Lane into a super-powered beast-woman. Superman pretends to develop similar monster-like symptoms in order to trap and subdue her but she sees through his disguise. Finally Superman realizes that Lois developed the condition only because she had a cold which lowered her immunity to the space jewel. Using ‘advanced Kryptonian science’ Superman devises a ‘miniature cold curer’ that restores Lois to normal.

Saddle Justice, 1948-49

Saddle Justice was one of the titles that Bill Gaines started shortly after taking over EC Comics after his father’s unexpected death in 1947 before the publisher went all-in on the comics that would make the company infamous a couple of years later.
