B: Well, as long as you're riding, you might as well have proper form. Decide if you're riding English or Western style. I would recommend Western style for you because you're a beginner. Now, tuck in your heels, hold the reins-er, ears-straight- T: Dang it, Kindsey, you're messing up my concentration! I'm gonna fall off!

... eadly kryptonite radiation to attack Superman, the Eradicator absorbs the blast and alters it, channeling it into Superman to restore him (_Superman_ #82). The Eradicator's ruined and apparently mindless body is delivered to STAR Labs. In _Action Comics_ #693, the body is examined by several scientists, including Dr. David Connor. Connor is a grumpy bugger whose problems are compounded by a nasty recent divorce and incurable cancer. He explains that the Eradicator's body has apparently restored itself, but that there is still no sign of any brain activity. Connor's illness causes him to stumble against the controls to the chamber containing the ...

... sday.' We learn nothing about what he's like or his motivations -- in fact, we learned more about his thought processes in one page of _Man of Steel_ #82 than we do in this whole issue. The story reads as if rushed -- a five-page sequence stretched out with splash pages (2), double page spreads (1), extra-large figures a la _Infinity Inc._-era McFarlane (4), 'duplicate panels' to reflect reality shifts (3) and special computer effects (2). I would have much rather gotten something more substantial than super-villain posturing. That being said, I have to admit the book's opening sequence, announcing Superman 2999's founding of the Justice Allianc ...

... an family cast members as Perry White, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Supergirl, Lori Lemaris, Krypto, and many more. The first issue of LOIS LANE that I'll review is #82, April 1968. This issue is really a major landmark issue, because during the course of this story, Superman proposes to Lois, she accepts and they get married. Nope, it's not a dream, not a hoax, not an imaginary story, and it doesn't involve exact doubles or alternative Earths. Let me explain. The cover, nicely drawn by Neal Adams, shows Lois reacting in surprise as a futuristically-clad man indicates a large marble 'bed' with statues of Lois and Superman lying on it. The man is saying, "And t ...
