Superman #19/1971

In "Stirb, Rothaut, stirb!", Lois Lane takes on a heartfelt mission to find the "Mother of the Year" for a Rundschau contest, only to face resistance from women who see her as unfit due to her single status. Her journey leads her to a Native American community where a deadly conflict over a dam puts her in the middle of a tragedy—and forces her to promise to care for a grieving child, the young "Kleiner Mond." With quiet determination, Lois steps into a role far beyond reporting, navigating prejudice and loss with grace. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Werner Roth, with inks by Vince Colletta and Murphy Anderson, the issue’s cover by Dick Giordano captures the weight of its emotional core.
