Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #77
In "The Witch of Metropolis," Superman's accidental use of his x-ray vision triggers a malfunction in Professor Grail's teleporter chair, leaving Lois Lane seemingly trapped in a ghostly state. As visions of a spectral Lois haunt him, Superman must follow a cryptic message sent through Jimmy's new typewriter to rescue her from the fourth dimension—using only a single lever in the lab. Written by Jerry Coleman and illustrated by Wayne Boring, with inks by Stan Kaye, this 1967 tale features a haunting twist on the hero's powers and a mystery that unfolds across dimensions. The cover, by Kurt Schaffenberger, captures the eerie mood of the story in striking detail.
