Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #35
In "The Amazing Brain Machine!", Lois Lane finds herself caught in a web of mistaken identity after a mysterious incident leaves her with amnesia, convinced she’s the glamorous actress Sheila Dexter. With her memory gone and her usual sharp instincts replaced by a stranger’s persona, Superman makes a bold, personal choice to reveal his secret identity in a desperate bid to reach the real Lois—though she’ll soon forget it all again. Written by Jerry Siegel and brought to life with Curt Swan’s expressive art and George Klein’s crisp inks, this 1962 classic features a striking cover by Kurt Schaffenberger.
