Context is for the Weak: Lois Lane #111

Public Service Announcement: Rape is never a joke. It is a violent crime and certainly not funny.


..........But a comic page that looks like it's implying rape from a cracky story in Lois Lane #111 can be freakin' hilarious.

Used in Superdictionary IIRC, and one of the rare occasions where the contexty version is at least as or even more disturbing than the Cracktionary version....

This was in the Cracktionary?

The Justice League is going to gang-rape Lois. They are all going to have sex with her without her permission. My childhood is also being gang-raped.

Oh yes, I wish I'd saved it before the Great Disaster. They changed out the background to a bedroom set and covered Lois up to the neck with a blanket, but her head and the JLA'ers heads are the same.

Huh, Black Canary too? Whoddathunk?

[tsuki_the_geek.insanejournal.com]

True enough, but I would have thought anyone with the good taste to like Oracle would be above such "frat party date rape" type scenes.

On an unrelated note, huh, I like Babs hair on that card. When did she have that style in the comics...?

[seriousfic.insanejournal.com]

I blame it on Ollie's bad influence and marihuana.

Looks like Stelfreeze's take on the original Land haircut from the earliest Dixon days.

Interesting trivia: If you read Birds from the beginning, you can actually basically watch Barbara's hair grow out, from the just-under-the-ears cut she had when she first recruited Dinah to the just-past-shoulder-length when Benes took on art duties. There's some variation, of course, but it's way more consistent than, say, her chair has been post-Dixon.

Black Canary chose to date Green Arrow... I think that tells us everything we need to know about her taste.

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, between Ollie, Ra's, Ray, and the five or six sleazebags she followed around in the early Birds run, Babs is more the exception than the rule in more ways than just gender. (And even Babs has a lot of Ollie's bad habits.)

[ashtoreth.insanejournal.com]

Yes, but where's my darkfic about the JLA being a front for satanic circles?

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm more curious about the Satanic angle here...

[proteus_lives.insanejournal.com]

I actually read a darkfic about the X-Men being a demon-phoenix worshipping cult. It was hardcore.

[octopussoir.insanejournal.com]

Someone needs to get a rape bullhorn.

[surlytmpl.insanejournal.com]

It appears to be only a satanic half-circle. Lois is sleeping soundly knowing the spell can't be completed.

Classic Page!

[proteus_lives.insanejournal.com]

But this a satanic circle watching Lois Lane or are just seeing the beginning of Lois's "dream?"

Those are actually clones of the Justice League, only a few inches high, and their "rape" is nothing more than tying her down with cords. This was during Kirby's stint at DC, where he set up a secret project that had clones of various characters running all over creation.

The cover was interesting, an obvious take on GULLIVER'S TRAVELS. You could do a gallery of a dozen comics covers showing someone being tied down by miniature people.

A miniaturized Black Canary? That sounds like the depleted uranium at the core of a Rule 34-bomb.

...

Where do they get fishnet stockings that small?
