On Miracle Monday the spirit of humanity soared free. A good Miracle Monday to you all! I hope you’re celebrating safely and – Wait, you didn’t know that it’s Miracle Monday?

Deciding that it was time for me to get my hands on a copy of the comic that has what may be my favorite cover of all time means that there are 52 year old spoilers for… Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane #80 Writer: Leo Dorfman Artist: Kurt Schaffenberger Cover: Curt Swan and Neal Adams…
