October, 1969:
Just look at that!! Look at the villain's get up!! Check out Lana's mini-skirt, and Lois' faux-1920s hideous mini-skirt get-up!! The gambit of making the potential reader guess what the "girls" are saying!! The above-the-logo teaser asking you to "Weep for Lois Lane's Baby!" Of course, there's no way the comic could live up to such a great cover...is there? (...unless it's secretly a ploy by Kal-El to set up a little menage a trois with the LL girls...)
Oh, what are the ladies saying, you ask? I'm thinking that it went a little something like this:
Too bad, Supes...it was nice knowing you.

Superman was way more interesting in the Silver Age :)
