“Lois Lane's Signal-Watch!”

What a delightfully off-kilter Silver Age premise: the cover of this April 1960 DC issue shows Lois Lane standing at her Daily Planet desk, beams of green Kryptonite vision shooting from her eyes straight at a visibly weakened Superman, who kneels with one hand raised in desperate protest. Lois pleads her innocence while the Man of Steel warns her to look away — it's a wonderfully dramatic snapshot of the series' knack for turning its heroine into an accidental threat to the most powerful man on Earth. Cover pencils by Curt Swan and inks by Stan Kaye give the scene that warm, precise polish that defined DC's Silver Age aesthetic.
