Lois Lane: A Celebration of 75 Years #[nn]

In this 2014 tribute to Lois Lane’s 75th anniversary, "Superman Origin" reimagines a pivotal moment in the Man of Steel’s legacy, written by Cary Bates and illustrated by the legendary Curt Swan, with inks by Joe Giella and colors by Tatjana Wood. Set on Earth-2 in the 1950s, the story follows Clark Kent—stripped of his memories and fighting crime as a fearless reporter—whose growing boldness catches the eye of Lois Lane, leading to a new marriage. When a mysterious threat from Captain Future’s gang goes unnoticed, Lois begins to question Clark’s identity, prompting her to confront the Wizard, who once claimed responsibility for Superman’s disappearance. The cover, by Gary Frank, captures the emotional weight of the moment.
