Superman: Secret Origin #3

[sailorlibra]

The new official first meeting of Lois Lane and Clark Kent.






The item Lois is looking for here is a blonde wig.




If only the art was better. For the record, Lois meets Superman the usual way later in the comic. You know, she falls off building and he catches her. I guess that scene's pretty traditional by now.

It's not as bad as I thought it would be - Byrne's re-boot Lois was a tough chick who has no time for Clark at all. This one seems a bit softer in that she takes to Clark right off - and sees through his "mild-mannered"-ness. I assume she first meets Supes himself during the Luthor thing? Just as it was in the post -COIE "Man of Steel" origin?

Also, I don't think I'll get used to Gary Frank drawing Christopher Reeve (and yes I know that's how Frank draws him all the time) while everybody else in the Superman cast looks nothing like their movie counterparts. It just seems off. Is this a movie adaption or something?

Yeah, the Luthor conference has a robot malfunction, which pushes Lois off the roof of the building, Clark changes into Superman and catches her, ala Superman: The Movie.

To be fair, drawing Luthor as Gene Hackman would be way too jarring.
