That reminds me. When I was a kid I had this comic and I was traumatized by it. Traumatized! Lois Lane lets a scientist inject her with bionics as part of a story she's covering, and, and, they take over her body, and her hair falls out, and her flesh falls away from her bones (in a horrifying shadow cast on the wall) and she turns into that robot on the cover! I mean look at her!

And then these aliens come down and give her a wish, and she wants to use it to marry Superman, but she only gets one, so she uses it to become human again and I swear I had nightmares for months.

*hyperventilates*
That's fucking creepy, and it would have scared the shit out of me as a kid.

Absolutely terrible! You know how much trouble I'm having convincing people that these are the ACTUAL covers? A lot :LOL Anyway, I don't think I could even come up with some of these things, they're just too demented :shocked

I've seen a few of those at a convention, when someone with a humongous comic collection took out some of the goofier covers and made a slideshow presentation out of them. :eek

In that presentation, I got to see a bunch of "the Flash gets a wierd body" covers as well as all those freaky "Jimmy Olsen" covers. As the presenter said, "Man, look at how dangerous it is to be Superman's friend! And Supes doesn't even help you out half the time!"

And what was with all the Lois Lane stuff? According to the thread it was a hot seller... but in the name of all that is good and holy... WHY?? With the sex roles so rigidly defined then, how many girls would have been caught dead buying and reading a comic??

That makes a lot of sense... though I still get a case of the smirking giggles when I try to envision some overly macho 8 year old defending his buying of a comic book with MARRIAGE and GIRLS in it by claiming "But it's Superman! It's cool! It's not about girls! He always stops her in the end! Honest!" :LOL

And those covers are so deliciously bad. Just when you think it can't get worse than a killer xylophone, Lois turns herself black and Superman is Jimmy's abusive adopted father.

Those are hysterical!

I wonder how many little boys read those and started realizing they might want to live as women, like Jimmy did.

Whoever wrote "Tootsie" possibly.

What was boner supposed to mean, like an evil plot? If so, I'm going to use that more often in my planning process:LOL

A boner traditionally used to mean a really big mistake of some kind.

It may also mean a mistake, but was I the only one who could have taken this the wrong way? Either no one else noticed or no one else was perverted enough (like me!) to post it. :P The URL also helps fuel it. ;)

:LOL:LOL Some of them could seem like just the writer's sick mind. "You were so busy forcing me into a boner.." "And I'm worried about the boner he's readying for you!" "...Our study of the great boners of all time." Some one was getting a get laugh while writing these I think... if only writers today would use such extensive vocabulary..:LOL:bamf

LMAO!

From the artwork and writing i'm guessing this is probably from waaaaaay back in the 1940's or so. (!)

I'm betting that 'boner' wasnt even slang for ...well...you-know-what.... back then :LMAO !!
