Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #27
In "Lois Lane's Super-Brain!", Lois Lane takes a risky leap into science when she uses Professor Holt's brain machine to boost her intellect—only to find her mind isn't the only thing that's grown. Suddenly burdened with a head that's far too large for her body, she must navigate her new reality while keeping her transformation a secret from everyone, including Superman. Written by Robert Bernstein and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with a striking cover by Curt Swan and Sheldon Moldoff, this 1961 classic blends sci-fi whimsy with a touch of body-swap humor in a memorable twist on the Daily Planet's most famous reporter.
