Welcome to another installment of Lois Lane Versus. While I'm off doing stuff that challenges me to keep making postrs to this blog, we're looking at various issues of Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane as Lois face her own challenges.
Today, Lois Lane Versus the Sun!

Back in the 1960s Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane focused mostly on Lois' antics trying to get Superman to marry her or expose his secret identity or get caught up in some foolish mix up changing her shape, size or giving her super powers or something equally silly.
By the 1970s, Lois evolved a bit. Yes, she was still getting in trouble but usually in pursuit of a story and not in pursuit of the Man of Steel. The upshot was a number of covers of Lois in peril as a result of her reporter's curiosity.
Like this one where she's been turned into snow.
Another influence on Lois's direction was a loosening up of the Comics Code Authority that had restricted among other things having women in jeopardy and elements of horror. Here we have a snow man shaped like the devil while Lois is forced to endure the slow drip-drip of her inevitable demise as she melts under the unceasing glare of the sun. Some scary stuff going on here.
Anyway, Lois Lane Vs. the Sun does not end with the demise of the Daily Planet's favorite investigative reporter.
But what will tomorrow bring? Who or what will Lois Lane Versus... in our next installment?
