Lois Lane Meets Annie Oakley

Another Superman story with Annie Oakley, but this time somebody else is being Annie Oakley instead of Lois Lane.

Annie Oakley Gets Her ( Super ) Man

This story is probably related to the Annie Oakley show with Gail Davis.

Adrian Booth And Gail Richards

Adrian Booth had the feminine lead in the 1944 Captain America serial. This adaptation changed many details, including the hero's secret identity, and the girl character was completely different. The comic book version was a blonde named Betty ( sometimes Betsy ) Ross, and the serial version was a brunette named Gail Richards.  

In more recent years, the serial heroine has also appeared in the comic books with Captain America.

Adrian Booth as she appeared in the Captain America serial.

"Lorna Gray" was a stage name she was using at the time.

Marvel also had a different character in Captain America comics named "Gail", "Gail Runciter". She first appeared in CAPTAIN AMERICA #268 and is basically another version of "Sharon Carter", the modern version of Betty Ross.

 CAPTAIN AMERICA #219 had a story where Captain America himself played Captain America in the serial.  The heroine of the serial is called "Adrian" after Adrian Booth. However, this character was blonde like Sharon Carter instead of being a brunette like Adrian Booth.

That was probably just because Sharon Carter was the girl character they had been using in the comics, but not long after that they stopped using her, and then said she'd been killed. Only to bring her back again in more recent years.

Comparison Of The Planets

A comparison of all the planets in the solar system, along with some of the moons. Note how Pluto resembles all the other planets, while all the moons resemble each other. Vesta is an asteroid.

The Jilting Of Superman

SHOWCASE was a title DC used to introduce new comic books. This particular issue was a tryout for Lois Lane. The comic book became a regular series with the title SUPERMAN'S GIRLFRIEND LOIS LANE, as on this cover. The cover date on this issue is Sept. Oct. 1957. The production of these comics goes back to when THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN was in it's original run, so they can be seen as being related to that program. And the character of Lois Lane as portrayed in these comics can be seen as being related to Noel Neill, who was playing Lois Lane on that series.

The cover as well as the story here have art by Wayne Boring. The artist best known for having worked on this series was Kurt Schaffenberger.

For some reason Superman is always trying to teach Lois Lane a lesson in these stories. This time someone else suggests it, but it's still the same routine.
