American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: Lois Lane #11-15
*DC: How do you wind down after a stint splitting your time between being the Daily Planet’s star reporter and trying to discover Superman’s secret identity, or even marry him? How about if you let your hair down, throw on an animal print swimsuit and head off to the jungle to lead a leopard pack? Just one of the many scrapes Lois Lane gets into in the wealth of stories comprising these five early issues that straddle the advent of UK distribution for the title. You’ll also find her wearing a box on her head (she could run for Parliament in that get-up) and dressing as Batwoman, which is enough for Superman to jump to the conclusion that she loves Batman and intends to marry him. A whole world of wild and wacky adventures awaits you.
