I bought it on was the first second and third appearance of Catwoman Silver-age appearance of Catwoman. So It was a great buy. I forget how much I bought it for but it was less than a hundred And this thing this comic alone right now would go for more than a hundred But let's crack it open. I forget what grade it is and I bought it in It's in pretty good shape. If I recall correctly would have been mid-grade But I should have written down the info on the back of this, but I didn't make the lower grade and Most of the story in this is written by well actually all the slow stories in this are Written by Leo Dorfman and Leo Dorfman did a lot of work with Superman and Jimmy Olson and obviously Lois Lane. So he was really active with the Superman books Okay, and The artwork for this is done by Kurt Schofenberger and the cover this cover is done by Kurt Schofenberger and there's some artwork with Carmen Infantino, Bob Colson, Henry Bott, Linoff and Irv Novik in this as well.

Let's read the fine print for this Let's read the top one. What does that say printed in the United States? This pre-autocall one will may not be sold except by authorized dealers and it's sold subject to the conditions That it shall not be sold or distributed with any part of its cover or markings removed nor in the mutilated Condition nor affixed to nor as part of any advertising literally Literally or pre-autocall matter whatsoever Superman's girlfriend Lois Lane number 17 November 1966 Published monthly with the exception of March June and December by national peer article publications incorporated second and Dickey Streets Sprada, Illinois 622 86 editorial executive offices and subscriptions 575 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022 Mort wise Waysinger editor Second-class postage paid at Sparta, Illinois under the act of March 3rd 1879 subscription in the US for 12 32 page issues $1.75 including postage for and 350 in American funds Oh, this guy Canada nice Canada two dollars in American funds for advertising rate rates address Richard a Faldon and company 205 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10017 copyright national pure article publications incorporated 1966 all rights reserved under international and pan-American copyright conventions This the stories characters and incidents mentioned in this magazine are Entirely fictional no actual person living or dead are intended or should be inferred cool and By the way, this part where they have this publication can't be sold without its cover This is a man. Let's see if it focuses Without its cover. Where's the cover without its cover is because When the new stands weren't able to sell all the Copies that they had or if anything was damaged they would instead of mailing back the whole publication That's that's the way the publishers made sure that the New stands weren't scamming the publishers What they would do is tear the cover off and send the cover and it costs less to send multiple covers And then they would get credit for the number of covers they sent, right? So for the next bash they got they didn't have to pay the full amount, right? So there's a lot of comic books that you can buy Well, I don't know if a lot is the right word, but there's some comic books You can buy that don't have the cover attached to them and that's because a lot of them That's what was happening the retailers new stands were tearing off the covers sending them back to the publishers and Getting credit for the books that they weren't able to sell Okay, so let's start this off. This is our first story. What's this one called? The Catwoman's Black Magic right So Superman's girlfriend Lois Lane Let's read the Sort of preamble to the story. Holy cats Who's this female fiend who's sickening her big cat buddies on poor invulnerable Clark Kent? Is it the Catwoman? Julie Neumar from the Batman TV show Lee Maryweather, what Maryweather from the Batman movie or Batman movie? No, it's our own Lois So why is a nice girl like her in person in a queen of crime? I find to find out what's new Pussycat and why read this tale of feline felony and the Princess of Plunder as the Princess of Plunder works a Sinister spell on Superman himself with the Catwoman's black magic And there's Clark Kent dealing with a lion Tiger and a panther, I would assume Panthers drawn pretty big Let's see what Catwoman is saying or Lois Lane Ress rip him to pieces my pets Clark Kent is a friend of Superman and any friend of Superman is an enemy of mine Catwoman says Great kryptonite Batman a Superman is thinking These enraged cats are ripping my Clark Kent clothes to shreds and with Lois hypnotized into thinking she's Catwoman There's no telling what she'll do when she finds out that I'm Superman And here's the artist signature Schofenberger Schofenberger nice splash page to start the story off. I Love that the big cats the way they're drawn beautifully done Now that I have two kitty cats. I appreciate this a lot more these kitty cats one day One day high over startled metropolis That's a huge bird. Look. Is it a plane? It's too big to be Superman Good grief. It looks like a rock the giant bird of Arabian legend it can't be for real the people are saying that's for real Is there a big bird of Arabian legend? dropping fliers At the Daily Planet office as Lois Lane and Clark Kent watch Clark is dropping thousands of leaflets. It's an aircraft. How does it work? If only I had Superman's X-ray vision Says I'm really Superman Clark says that's no problem for me Lex through it It's an ingenious adaptation of the helicopter principle The frame of the craft is covered with artificial feathers to make it look like a huge bird Let's see what what those leaves leaflets say Do we see the propellers of the bird? Oh, maybe the cloud is supposed to be the propellers of the bird moments later Harvey Hawks was the flyer say let's read the flyer first Announcing the grand opening of the metropolis bird sanctuary August 25th at Phoenix Castle Sponsored by Harvey Hawks. Oh, there's Jimmy Olsen in the background Harvey Hawks Lois Lane. Harvey Hawks. He's the millionaire bird fancier who owns some of the rarest feathered creatures on earth The collection must be worth a fortune Just then Great Caesar's ghost Listen to that flash on the news ticker. The penguin has escaped from prison The warden is about to give the details on a national TV hookup someone's reading the Teleprompter. What does that thing call? I forget what it's called. Ting ting ting ting News coming through flashing news. The penguin Lois Lane says He's one of Batman's cleverest enemies Uh-huh little penguin's face Let's take a look at it. Soon on a special newscast Yes, the penguin our most infamous jail bird escaped by the use of a Fiendishly clever trick which he pulled at a party for the prison guards children. What's this? He's got a little Hummingbird in his hand or a perversion of it Foolishly we permitted our puggy prisoner to entertain the tauts with an electronic hummingbird he invented Watch the birdie kitties the nectar in those flowers has him humming with the lights Penguin shut that thing off before it breaks everyone's eardrums Sorry warden. I can't hear a thing you're saying Ah people running away the kids shouldn't expose little ones to the penguin So the humming is just making people go crazy The humming grew louder and louder, but it didn't seem to affect the penguin That sound is vibrating the prison bars like a tuning fork. How can the penguins stand it? Maybe he's gone stir crazy the guards say But it was all part of the foul felons cunning plan The sound of the hummingbird shattered the prison walls Just like the vibration of a violent string shatters the glass As they say on broadway bye bye birdie and thanks i'll remove my earplugs as soon as i'm out of range Crumble rumble crash as the warden finishes his story This is page one stuff so long lois i'm heading for the prison to interview the witnesses and get some pictures Clark's on the move He's grabbing his camera as well Presently in a nearby alley This emergency calls for superman to take a hand I'll contact batman at once Superman says or thinks Meanwhile Lois's Willy brain goes into high gear Hmm. She thinks the penguin always uses bird themes for his crimes He's bound to be attracted to the new bird sanctuary and that gives me an idea That afternoon Lois visited Phoenix castle The phoenix is a famous bird of greek legend. I guess that's why harvey hawks Housed his rare bird collection here The exhibit won't open till next week, but perhaps they'll let me in Shit thing. Oh look at her sneaking through the watchman is asleep. Hmm While he was napping the penguin could have slipped past him I'll go inside and check. Oh look at all these poor birds and cages Soon within Fantastic this exhibition hall contains the rarest and most valuable feather creatures in the world That millionaire hawk must have spent a mint gathering them. My books is better The bower bird of the south pacific It collects glittering objects and stones the way some people collect jewels Would make a great thief penguins In a refrigerated case to duplicate their normal environment I'd enjoy watching them, but they remind me of their namesake the penguin That fine feather felon may be here right now. Shit thing. Suddenly gasp The shadows of an umbrella And the penguin's trademark is his trick umbrella. I was right. He must be over there I'm being dive-bombed Now I'm sure the penguin is nearby Who else would train a bird to do a stunt like this? Gas I'm blacking out. So that egg must have contained a gas Right there that's being dropped as Lois comes to long afterward What happened? What am I doing in this glass cage? And where are all the birds? They're gone vanished into thin air. Am I going out of my mind? Jaguars, panthers Oak, oak lots The birds have been replaced with every species of savage cat in the world What's going on here? Rawr Snarl at that moment. Well, I'll be someone left some food for me Just as if I were a prisoner in a cell. I am hungry. So I might as well eat So there's the food That's a little opening outside the cage, right? The glass cage and the food's left outside But in the next frightening instance Oh, wow. Look at that cat paw Yay A tiger Nicely drawn Another second and it would have been his blue-plated special Thank heavens this cage is made of unbreakable glass But where did all this these Ferocious feline come from? Here's a metal hat for toys Oh, you can make toys. It's like a What do you call that? Toy making kit Cool Creepy crawlers Or fighting men Or crippled people Crippled people That's not PC Mattel Continued on second page following Let's check this out A good question Lois and the answer is The cat woman She's one of Batman's arch foes. She always uses cats as the inspiration for her crimes Hello Ms. Lane Raja and I were playing a little cat and mouse game with you But I was expecting the penguin He sent one of his birds to attack me That was a cat bird, my dear The only bird I could tolerate It's egg bomb caused your little cat now Ah, that's a cat bird. Is there such a thing? Meow So the bird goes meow Stop pussy footing. I saw the shadow of an umbrella on the wall And no, that's a sure sign of the penguin You must have seen the shadow of my cat claws Haha Just then Okay, we put the last of the birds to sleep with the dream fog We're loading them into the trucks now right now. What next cat woman? Take that bird outside with the others While I set up the cat trap I've been not planning So all the birds are asleep They gassed up After Lois has been released from her cage My plans include you Lois Lois miss Lois Put on this costume Do as I say or I'll have Raja here Convince you Look at the tiger Give me the outfit. He's already Convicted me But I was scared presently It's another cat one costume I'm a carbon copy of you. What's the pitch? Perplexed my dear Step through this door and you'll find the answer Then in the darkened room Here look into my cat's eye ring And you'll learn what this is all about That jewel it's hypnotic It's hypnotic force taking control of my brain Lois says As Lois is gripped by a weird transformation Yes, I've used the catalypic hypnosis Forget your past as Lois Lane From now on you're the catwoman Meow I understand Lois Lane says As the countess of crime You'll use this cat cat kit Which contains your feline weapon Including the catarang which is even more dangerous than Batman's batarang Thanks Lois says Remember you're the world's greatest female feline You use all the predatory skills of a cat Understand? Perfectly she says But what's all these out those eyes Staring at me You really want to know? Then meet some feline friends I invited To your opening performance as catwoman Snarl I'm not afraid of them Yarrrrrrrrrrrrr Brainwash, Lois faces the most ferocious beast of the jungle Will the false catwoman be catnipped? turn to part 2 and find out. So let's go to part 2. Here's a one-page ad, advertisement for Plastic Man. Ad for Plastic Man number one it should be, yeah. Ad for Plastic Man number one, right? From 1966, the triathlete return of the one and only original Plastic Man, brand new exploits of the famous human rubber band. The slyliest, slippliest, slinkiest superior of them all. You'll never know, commissioner, who I ran into. Who do you run into? Who are those people? Let's continue with our story. This is a car advertisement, AMT. More models, take a look. More models, car models. Give them and get them as gifts, buys, AMT tool, authentic trophy series, 125th scale models. Let's take a look at this. Let's continue with part 2. The cat woman gets the bird. Part 2. There's a penguin and there is cat woman. Now this is Lois Lane, must be. Don't be afraid of them, cat woman. Those beasts are your subjects. The catnip perfume from your kit will make them obey your every command. I'll test my control over them, she says. In her cat woman identity, Lois gives orders to the king of beasts. Wow, look at that. That's it. Keep your jaw wide apart. Don't you dare let your fangs touch me, cat woman says. Where Lois Lane dressed up as cat woman says, hypnotizes cat woman. And soon, they're acting as gentlest kittens, but you can turn them into savage beasts whenever you need them in your cat crimes. One warning before I go, your rival in crime, the penguin, will probably be here soon. Use all your cat cunning to destroy him. The penguin, he's one cat who's going to catch a bird. Here's one cat that's going to catch a bird, as the real cat woman hurries away with her gang. But you did, but why did you brainwash her into trying to kill the penguin? Once she knocks off that bird, we can raid his hideout, the penguins roost and collect his loot, cat woman says. Look at all the birds they've grabbed. They're jacking all the birds. Then, after selling these valuable birds, we just stole, I'll be able to retire. And when they catch Lois Lane committing crimes as mean, no one will ever suspect the real crime queen has turned respectable. Cat woman, you're a genius. He says. Rain rain again, rain rain again. Meanwhile, yet another evil doer is alluding the law. Superman, I've reached everywhere for that escaped jail bird, the penguin, but there's no sign of him. Batman says. Even my telescopic vision hasn't been able to locate him anywhere in Metropolis or Gotham City, Superman says. On the street below, a crowd gathers for spectacular events. Holy Hitchcock, look, the birds are coming. Stand back. Let me see too. Is that like a bird parade? Nice artwork. Mayor, Mayor, our city, keep Metropolis clean. Make our city beautiful. Down the street comes a dazzling parade of feminine VIPs. It's a parade, and there's a lady bird, Linda Bird and Lucy Baines. They're sponsoring the beautiful Metropolis campaign. Wow, the first lady and her chicks are guarded by that king-size American eagle, as well as the police and the secret service. There's a king-size American eagle up top. So who are these people? The first lady, the first lady, president's daughter, wife, right? There's a penguin. But the eagle's wings guards, still another bird. Is he hiding in there? Let's see. Do we see him? No, no, we can't see him there. Let's check it out. Whoever think that I, the penguin, would ever have an escort of police and secret servicemen. Superman and Batman never dreamt, dreamt I'd be hiding under the feathers of this American eagle coat. As the parade ends, the penguin slips away and hurries to Phoenix Castle. The castle that contains the world's most valuable collection of feathered creatures. How can I invade this fort nox of birddom? Why? With this umbrella I picked up at my roost. There's this flying umbrella thing. Whirl, click. The touch of a button turns my umbrella into a helicopter. Penguin, you genius. You're a human whirly bird. And now to collect the rare fowls who will aid me in my future crimes. A brainwashed Lois Lane is waiting within. Ah, the penguin, my rival. He doesn't dream I'm about to pluck his pin feathers. Catwoman, you beat me to it and cleaned out those valuable birds. It's a disaster, but I plan my play my card right. Catwoman, I've always admired your sleek beauty and your cat cunning. We must end our rivalry. Rivalry, you little kitten. I didn't know you cared, Lois Lane says. Lois Lane dressed up as Catwoman. Let's get married. Let's get married. We'll combine our feline felonies and my bird bantry. We'll become the king and queen of crime. It's a deal, love bird. And here's a little engagement present I have for you. Oh, look at that. She throws her catarang. My catarang. That clawed gadget could make a penguin burger out of me. Yay, I'm falling. Splush. He falls into the fountain. But by a fluke of fate, it's raining hard now. Nice penguin, old boy. You have a charmed life. Once again, your bird destiny saved you from death by means of bird bath. At that moment, oh oh, Superman and Batman, they must have figured I come here. I'll hide behind the water in the fountain. But Superman's eagle eye spossed the bird bandit. There's the penguin now, Batman. I figured he'd turn up at the rare bird exhibit. Grab him before he gets away from Superman. There's Robin too in the background. The Batmobile. With a puff of super breath, the man of steel turns the cascading water to ice. Look at Robin laugh. Ah, those frozen bars, should make an easy, should make any penguin feel at home. Batman, have you ever seen Batman laughing so hard? Look at Robin. I'll get even with you for the Superman. Penguin says, soon. Batman, I still have something to do here at the castle. You take this foul tempered bird back to prison. Right, Superman. They have this cage ready for him, Batmobile. There's Robin in the back waving by to Superman. I need to account. I'll need to account to Perry White for my time, so I'll switch to Clark Kent and take some notes. I'll say that Superman brought me here to witness the penguins capture. Ah, here's my catarang. The penguin must be somewhere around here. Search for him, my feline friends. She looks like the cattleman, but that voice, something doesn't add up. Clark, Superman's on the steps looking in. Look at the cats. A flash of X-ray vision reveals great galaxies. It's Lois Lane, Superman says. Why, your Clark Kent, a friend of Superman, hypnotize Lois says. Lois, what are you doing in that Catwoman costume? Lois, my name is Selena Kyle. I'm the Catwoman, sworn foe of Batman and Superman too. I'll prove it. Any friend of Superman is an enemy of mine. Head for that sister. I have special plans for you. The real Catwoman must have hypnotized Lois. Well, I'll put on the the afraid cat. Afraidy cat Clark Kent act. So you're too scared to put up a fight, you weakling. Climb down into the pits, she says. What are you going to do with me? He asks. From that evil glint in her eye, she might try anything Superman thinks. Grr. You're just a timid mouse on my cat's love mice. Kill him, my pets. Then in a savage attack of fangs and claws, roar, roar, rip, slash. Oh man, out of a nasty who was a Superman. These pussycats are finding out an invulnerable mouse is too tough to chew. But they're ripping my Clark Kent close to ribbons. Clark Kent, you're really Superman. Oh, oh. The fat's in the fire. She uncovered my secret identity. But since Lois. Lois is in a hypnotic state. She'll probably forget all this when she snaps out of it. I'll hide the remnants of my civvies in the pouch of my cape. You fiend. My cats are ruining their teeth on your invulnerable body. Oh, the poor kitties. At that moment, the real cat woman's kitty car comes. Kitty car comes cat, catapulting over the wall. Like all cats, I'm curious. I must see if Lois Lane is using my cat tricks properly. If she fails, it would be a cat's trick catastrophe for my reputation. That's a beautiful cat woman car. Look at that. Holy heckate. As a cat woman, Lois even beats me. I ask her to trap the penguin and she tops me by nabbing Superman. Oh, the poor cat. Superman's punching the lord. But at that moment, stop. Cat woman says stop or Lois Lane says stop punching my sweet little pussy cats. Bang, bang. Look at the stars on the panther's head. These are mere love taps, Lois. I just want to put your feud off felines to sleep temporarily. Oh, look at the poor lion's face. Oh, fix him up by their tail. Look at that. Poor kitty cats. They're all passed out. You demon. Where are you taking my pets? To the metropolis zoo where they can't harm anyone. Wait here. I'll return, return and try to bring you out of the cat woman's hypnotic influence, Lois. But the man of, but the man of might is not aware that the genuine cat woman has been eavesdropping. So Superman knows that Lois Lane has been hypnotized into thinking she's me, huh? This could fit in with my plans perfectly. Soon, as Lois prowls the premises in her cat woman costume, meow, scratch. I thought Superman had captured all my cats, but it looks like I still have one left. I'll check. Trips, sir. As Lois Lane steps through the door, I knew you could resist my cat call. Take off the cat kit and won't, you won't need it anymore. Rip. Oh, she's ripping it off. Instance later. Cat woman, how did I get back in this cage? I can't remember. I'll fill you in later. Meanwhile, you'll stay in your unbreakable, unbreakable glass prison. Now that I broke the hypnotic spell, she can't, she doesn't remember impersonating me. Cat woman, thanks. You can't get away with this. Superman will find me, and when he does, that's where you're wrong, my little kitten. He won't even bother looking for you, cat woman says. Yes, here comes Superman to help poor deluded Lois. He'll never guess the girl who's waiting for him is the real cat woman impersonating his friend. Ha, ha, ha. What sinister scheme has the purring princess of plunder plucked from her catalog of tricks? The cataclysmic ending will be found in part three. That's fantastic, writing unlike that. And here's part three, continuation of the story. Oh, the rain is fantastic, gang. Really absolutely fantastic. Surrounded by windows, pouring rain outside and reading a comic book. Very nice. Superman, catastrophic, catastrophe. As Superman returns to the castle, I came back for you, Lois. Don't you recognize me? I'm your friend, Superman. Cat woman must have hypnotized you into assuming her identity. Ha, ha. Mr. Muscles doesn't dream he's talking to the cat woman in person, cat woman thinks. You could be right, Superman. Give me a super kiss. It might help restore my memory. Since he thinks I'm Lois, I may as well get a dividend out of this situation. It's worth a try, Superman thinks. A super kiss, my shocker back to normal. Ah, a boy, Superman. Take advantage of the situation. Look at this, look at this. Ha, ha. Oh my, oh my. Delish, cat woman thinks. This is the cat's meow. But I must keep my head. I have other plans for Lois' favorite carrier pigeon, as the cunning cat woman continues her act. Lois didn't, Lois, didn't that kiss ring a bell? Didn't it stir up old memories, Superman asks? Maybe I am Lois. After all, but I must be sure, fly me to my secret lair, the catacombs. Cat woman asks. A good idea. If you can guide me there, I'll prove you're the real cat, you'll prove you're the real cat woman. If not, you'll have to admit you're actually Lois suffering from a delusion. Superman, how clever of you. Ha, ha. I'm playing him for a cat's paw, she thinks. Meanwhile, the real Lois Lane has escape ideas. This cage is made of unbreakable glass, but in my guess, if my guess is right, the screen overhead is some kind of thin plastic. Think hard, Lois baby, big glass cage. Cat woman's cunning must be catching. I've got an escape plan, that's the cat's pajamas. First, I'll need some of these plumes dropped by the birds. Birds who used to live in this cage. Wrapping the plumes around their hand, Lois mounts a nearby bird swing, and I hope I can swing this. 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. Ha, look at her go. Like a human missile, Lois rockets offwards and crash, breaks through the screen, blast off. All systems are go, I'm right on target, and these feather gloves protect my hands from wire cuts, like punching bags. And by a lucky twist of fate, this balcony makes a perfect landing. Field. Wow, would Superman believe I did this? Would Perry, would Jimmy, she thinks. Then, slipping out to the courtyard, I thought I'd find Catwoman prowling around, but she's nowhere in sight. Wait, there's her kitty car. Just then, cat gang, paging Catwoman on the cat call network. Where are you? We're waiting for your orders in the catacombs. Oh ho, they can't seem to locate the real Catwoman. That gives me an idea. In this costume, I'm a dead ringer for that feline fella. If I could get to her hideout, I might be able to infiltrate the game and capture them. But how do I find the secret hideout? Wait, there's the answer. Autopilot. Catacombs. Lois. What? Lois, Ekago, Metropolis, Gotham City. I'm sewing Lois, New York, and then Los Angeles. Autopilot. This autopilot may control the kitty car, I hope. There's only one way to find out. I'll dial the destination I'm looking for. Oh, that's St. Louis, not Lois. St. Louis. So she's dialing catacombs. World. It's like a rotary phone. Seconds later, Lois' vehicle is catapulted out of the castle. Wow, what a takeoff. If those automatic controls work, I'll be at the catacombs in seconds. Boom. Meanwhile, the real Catwoman approaches the same destination. To keep this brain and brawn boy believing that I'm Lois Lane, I'll continue to act confused. Superman. I think my lair is near that cliff below. If you were really the Catwoman, you'd be sure, Lois. Superman says. But in the next moment, great kryptonite, that formation looks exactly like the fangs of a giant cat. This spot looks familiar. Head towards those needle-shaped rocks. Catwoman says. There's Catwoman's lair. As the rocky fangs, gas, some automatic mechanism open the cliff. Like the mouth of a giant cat. It's the catacombs. The Catwoman's lair. Lois, how did you know about this place? I must have been here before. I'm not sure. I'll lull his suspicions by acting confused. Catwoman thinks. What do those things say? Let's see. Catarangs? Catastrophical bombs? Catalism? Rockets? Catarog of crying? Hilarious. Too funny. Too funny. Let's see what else is going on here. Meanwhile, the Princess of Plunder's gang watches from a nearby tunnel. Has Catwoman got nuts? Why do you bring Superman in here? Relax. She must have some scheme of her sleeve. We'll lie low and see what happens. Out on the main cavern. All these wonderful cat weapons, but I don't know how to use them. Why Superman? Catwhisker gun. Because you're really Lois Lane, not the Catwoman. You're not villainous at all, Superman says. I wonder what this stick is for? She says Superman doesn't dream that this is the wand, the sorceress Cersei's, once used to turn Ulysses, men into swine. I found it recently in Italy. There should be enough magic left in it for one more transformation and just a side note gang. Superman is invulnerable to everything except magic, so magic is the only thing that can affect Superman. Takes away his vulnerability. Superman is vulnerable to magic, so this should work. Wand of Cersei's changed the dunce into a super cat at once. Lois, what are you doing? Superman says. My body feels so strange. Oh no. Continue on fifth page following. Let's follow this. Let's check this out. Okay, this is another ad, but we're going to continue with the story. This is super fun. On the go. With motorific. Little cars you can collect, but let's go on with the story. Oh, here's another one. Oh wow, there's a couple of stuff here. Cap's hobby. One of these pages is Carmen Infantino did the artwork for. I don't know which one. Okay, and Irv Novak and Bob Oxner. Well, we're going to continue with the story. This is super fun. Here's another one as well. Let's check this out. Let's see Superman's transformation into a little kitty cat. What a great story. What a great story. Then a grotesque metamorphosis. Oh no, look at this. Beautiful. What's happening? Some uncanny powers forcing me to drop to a force. I'm being turned into a meow. Awesome. Awesome. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Fantastic. Catwoman. Yes, I really am the Catwoman. This magic wand changed you into a super cat, which must obey my every command. She's got a super cat at her disposal. Nice. Look at that. Look at that. According to Cersei's spell, you must follow all orders I give you in rhyme. Forget your anger. Do no harm. Rest there gently on my arm. Look at that. Look at that. Little kitty cat Superman. Wow. We saw that stunt on the monitor. We're proud of you, Catwoman. I always dreamt of owning a super cat now with this powerful feline at my back and my back and call. Oh once again, be the queen of crime. Come, my cat cronies. We have plans to make. Here comes the real Lois Lane. But soon afterwards, Lois Lane arrives at the cave in her Catwoman disguise. Good heavens. The kitty car must have triggered some electronic mechanism that opened the door to the cave. Brrr. It's like being swallowed alive. The catacombs. This is the Catwoman's feline fortress. So this is Lois Lane. That sheet devil could have a cat fit if she knew I was here. She knows Lois. She knows Lois. The feline fury is already preparing a reception for you. It's Lois Lane. I don't know how she got in here. But I'll show what curiosity can do to the cat. Ha ha. I'll release the cageful of weird giant cats which I bred experimentally. Each one is a savage as a dozen tigers. Let's see your girlfriend get out of this one superman. I mean supercats. Oh look at all these different cats. Oh my god, look at that. Yarrrr. Catwoman's crazy. Look at what she bred. Look at this. What a psycho. In instant later, Lois becomes the star of a frightful drama with wide-screen facts. Those horrible beasts. Where'd they come from? They're devouring me alive. But in the next hair-racing second, and supercat is after me too. It's feeding time in this nightmare meringuey. And I'm the main course. Oh look at that. Yarrrr. Oh look at that. Supercat is defending Lois Lane. What a switch. He's charging those fiendish felines. But does he have a chance against their giant fangs and claws? I don't think she knows a superman. She doesn't. Look at this. Look at this. Pow. Bam. What a comic. Superman transformed into a supercat takes on mutated cats that are bred genetically engineered by catwoman. What a trip. Does he? The supercat strikes with furried fury. What unbelievable strength. A mere tap of his paw is enough to knock out one of those weird old beasts. Where did that supercat come from? Look at this one. Just doing a flippity flop. Super cool. Nice. As the battle ends, thanks pal. For a minute, I thought you might. You might be super, super girl, super pet, uh, streaky, but he has golden fur and lightning, light, lighting streak marks on his side. Perrrrr. Look at that. Superman, even in cat form, he's getting little kisses. Little prude. Getting kisses from all of them. Suddenly. Wait, I get it. By licking the S symbol, you're trying to tell me that you're Superman and that somehow you've been turned into a cat. Meow twice if I'm right. Clever. My cat cunning must have rubbed off on you, Lois. Meow, meow. Superman in cat form says. Oh, look at that. The catwoman. Only she could have cast a spell on you. Nab her, Superman. I mean, super cat. Yarrrr. Ha ha. You must obey me. It is written. Be mild and gentle as a kitten. Ah, that's another rhyme, right? Good grief. That simple rhyme brainwashed super cat into a cuddly house pet. All right, boys. I've got him under control again. Bring out the cage. Oh, and this is the front panel at the cover, right? Let's continue reading. Oh, look at that. I think it's kryptonite cage. How does babble when I have a kryptonite cage? Yarrrr. I originally meant this cage for super girl's cat, streaky. Then I learned he's not from a krypton, so the green K can't affect him. But it's a different story with my new pet. He'll be helpless here until I need him. That deadly stuff is killing the poor creature. Yarrrr. Stop torturing him, catwoman, or I'll meow, yarrrr. Fight me? Come on. My claws can use a workout on that pretty face of yours, catwoman says. Catwoman's nasty. You'll need a cat's nine. You'll need cat's nine lives before I'm through with you. Turning Superman into a cat was my most perfect crime, Lois. And now I'll change you into a mouse. And that is exactly the cover. Wow, the cover is a little bit more intricate, I guess. We'll take a look after. Oh, what's this? Coming up, the cat fight of the century. Will the dynamic crime fighter perish in the deadly cage? Can our daring chick win out over the devious cunning of the diabolic catwoman and her despicable cronies? Will we ever run out of DC gags? See the next issue of Lois Lane. Oh no, we don't get to see the ending. What? No, this is not fair. Where is the ending? I have the second issue of this but it's buried somewhere in my books. I have Lois Lane, Superman's girlfriend Lois Lane number 71, but I don't know where it is. Oh no, we don't get to see the ending. What? Wait, no, finishing. Most of these books from the 60s finish story. Right? Oh no, what is this saying? Second, super smash issue in the ultimate utmost in comic magazines. Oh, this is 80 page giant, Justice League of America. Another hall of fame section of super, that is super spectacular classic, now on sale everywhere. Oh man, what? We don't get to finish the story. See, here's the cover, this is the panel and here's the cover and they did it a little bit more intricate. Maybe it could be almost the same. Oh no, it's not because Lois Lane is dressed up but take a look at this. This is Lois Lane on the right side and that's Catwoman on the left side. In the panel, this is Lois Lane here and this is Catwoman here so it's a little different. Oh, we need to find out. Okay gang, if I do, I'll keep my eyes out and these are more advertisements and stuff. I'll keep my eyes out for Superman's girlfriend Lois Lane number 71 when I go through my boxes and if I find it, we'll bring it out and read it for sure. We need to see the ending of the story. What a cliffhanger. That's one of the best cliffhangers ever. That's one of the greatest comic book cliffhangers ever. Seriously, this book surprised me. It was a fantastic read. What a fantastic read. Superman's girlfriend Lois Lane number 70 from November. Great book and as far as grade goes, I would say this is, you know, 5, 5.5 maybe, 6 maybe at best. But a great comic book. Great comic book. I hope you guys enjoyed gang. I hope you guys enjoyed.
