Lois would be younger than that, as Pre-Crisis Superman was always 29 years old. That's according to the official timeline they settled on in the early 70s and was a plot point in a story where a hippy banished everyone 30 and over from Metropolis. Superman was finally aged up to 35 during the Death of Superman, where he stayed until they settled on the vaguely 40-something he is today.

I love how this story pretty much confirms that the only reason Lois loves Superman is for his powers. My favorite "Lois Lane marries Superman" story may be Lois Lane 82, in which she _actually does marry Superman_ , but they have it casually annulled because it turns out he was under the influence of a hypnotic suggestion. Very surprising that she didn't put up more of a fight about that...

@sboinkthelegday3892 Жыл бұрын

"only for his powers" "annulls a fraudulent unconsenting marriage" ...what? You're saying that logic tracks? Imma chalk that up to being "the wrong thing to do" accoding only to some alien double standard, like the ones that are usually used to suggest women SHOULD act like some kinda sociopath or Andrew Tate. I mean, if you realize you married a hypnotized woman, what do you call the GUTS to keep her up to that promise for a lifetime? Chivalry?

Congrats on the variant cover! Hope you're getting residuals! It's weird seeing the early Schaffenberger art. I can see he's doing the Wayne Boring house style, but it's not quite there. It's somewhere between Boring and the later Curt Swan house style, and Superman looks exceptionally off-model in places. When he's hitting the air brakes in space he looks a lot like Beck's Captain Marvel. It's a lot more expressive and cartoony than I expect from this era of Superman, and I kinda like it. Too bad it didn't last.

Also, I can't help but draw comparisons between this story and the Xplam one (though Futureman is a man with a plan, not a desperate loser). I also think this could easily be spun into a Eobard Thawne type scenario for Superman or Lois Lane - an obsessed historian/fan from the future who is determined to make Superman or Lois' lives go the way he wants, no matter what he has to do to make it happen. That could be interesting.

And who knows what kind of calendar and time unit revisions were made once we weren't living solely on Earth?

Well today’s wig is Kryptonite, ‘cos it is killin it! Kinda refreshing to see that not all blonde Supermen are automatically evil. Lonely stalkers with peep~o~vision, bad color sense, and all the disguise subtlety of Hank Venture, but not evil! Seriously, look up Venture Bros., Russian Guyovich and Enrico Metassa. Future man was trying to be both. Good thing his guide to “ancient living” wasn’t a sitcom, or Lois would have a whole other set of things to deal with. And Schaffenburger’s stuff was more expressive. You can almost see Lois scheming! Which is most of the time. Futureman beware.
