You know, I could do a whole website with odd moments from the Silver Age of comic books.
Actually, the good folks at Superman is a Dick do a wonderful job of highlighting strange covers and panels from the entire history of comics.
And the Comics Should Be Good section of Comic Book Resources does a good job with offbeat and funny moments.
That’s where I saw the panels above, from Lois Lane 14 from 1960.
“It’s almost as if Superman is punishing me for being a bad girl!” Lois says.
There’s so much to love about those panels. So many unintentionally funny lines. So … Silver Age.
Really, somebody should do a book with psychoanalysis of the writers of Silver Age comics. Or a “Mad Men”-style TV series.


There is so much funny stuff in Silver Age Comics. I actually have a poster of Pa Kent spanking superboy- it’s quite funny (on a side note the same writer had Pa Kent spanking Superboy in two different comics).
