The Fattest Girl in Metropolis

[cyberghostface]

This comes from 'Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane' #5.

The story opens with Lois Lane witnessing a murder. She is unable to identify the killer, however. Lois writes a story about it for the paper.

The next day she interviews a scientist who has invented a growth ray. He has used it to make berries plumper. She is accidentally struck by the ray but the scientist says it should only work on plant life.

The next day...









At the wedding of a hero cop that Superman attends, Lois realizes that the ring is Kryptonite. She grabs it to save Superman, revealing she is Lois. She runs off humiliated.

She later has an assignment to cover the new carnival. She visits the house of mirrors in a carnival and sees her thin reflection in a mirror. The killer she had witnessed from before finds her there; he had been trying to catch Lois but had not recognized her because of the weight she had gained. When he realizes that its her, he tries to shoot her but Superman melts the bullets and apprehends the criminal.

He tells Lois that he had been following her around like a bodyguard, knowing that the killer would try to find her.
