Neal Adams - Original Unpublished Cover Art for Lois Lane #87 (DC, 1968). It's feminist fury at its finest as the Man of Steel barges in to break up a catfight between Lois Lane and the evil Kandorian scientist Cor-Lar. Neal Adams drew what many consider the definitive Superman of the late sixties, and his covers from this era are classics, even when their subject matter is some of the loopier goings-on in Lois' little corner of the DC Universe. This one is about as tantalizing as they come, especially for the young male reader (who might be crying, "Let 'em keep fighting, Supes!"). The cover that was finally used was very similar to this version, but it put angrier expressions on the gal's faces, and placed the scene in mid-air, the better to get across the message that this was a super-powered catfight. The page is 1.5" x 17.5" with a 10" x 15" image area, and as a special treat, a copy of the comic book is included.
