Over at DC Women Kicking Ass<\/a>, Brad Ricca, author of the soon-to-be-released “Super Boys: The Amazing Adventures of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster \u2014 The Creators of Superman” has made a guest-post detailing the evolution of Lois Lane through Siegel and Shuster’s early pre-Superman stories.<\/p>\n

What I want to talk about here is how Jerry and Joe got to Lois in the comics \u2013 she didn\u2019t just spring out, fully-formed, after all \u2013 she evolved, changed, and transformed through a series of characters that Jerry and Joe did in their early, pre-Superman comics. Lois took her time. And because these early comics have never really been reprinted since the thirties, no one has seen them for a long time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As anyone who has read the earliest Superman stories by Siegel and Shuster, Lois was far from just a damsel in distress clich\u00e9. Here antecedents give an even broader look at Siegel’s and Shuster’s progressive — at least for 1930s fiction — toward depiction of women.<\/p>\n

\"Pre-history<\/p>\n

Ricca takes you from the fictional Lois Amster of “Doctor Occult” through the fiery Sally Norris of “Slam Bradley” and several points in between. Click on over to the site<\/a> to read the whole thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
