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.
In a story that blends quiet humanity with rising tension, 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, and deeper challenges among a Native American community where a dam project divides families. When a young boy named Kleiner Mond loses his mother, Lois reluctantly promises to care for him, navigating grief, prejudice, and the weight of a promise she never expected to make.
Robin finds himself caught in another student protest, this time with deadly consequences when a car explodes—too late to prevent a young rebel’s death. With Superman making a brief cameo, the aftermath forces Robin to confront the cost of activism and the weight of choices made in the heat of the moment.
