Superman #24
In "Perils of Poor Lois!", Superman #24 (1943) delivers a classic early adventure where Lois Lane and Clark Kent’s heated argument takes an unexpected turn when Lois seeks the Man of Steel’s advice on reconciliation. With a surprise birthday party on the horizon, Lois enlists Superman’s help to make amends—only for Clark to unwittingly hire a lookalike who’s far from heroic. Written by Don C. Cameron and illustrated by Ed Dobrotka with inks by George Roussos, the issue features a cover by Jack Burnley, capturing the tension and charm of a moment that’s equal parts heartfelt and mischievous.

After Lois and Clark have a pretty serious spat, Superman is asked for his advice on how to settle the argument, and gives it to Lois. Lois feels the best place to make amends is at the surpise birthday party for Clark that evening, but she wants Superman to attend. The only thing Clark can think of is to hire a double to play the role of Superman at the party, not knowing the man is actually a criminal!
