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.
