10. Why is This So Terrible?

Lois doesn’t help solve or even call attention to the issues raised in the story! She just decides that it’s all good because this one black person doesn’t hate her any more.

This is just a troublesome comic book, and it makes you madder and madder the more you think about it. This came out in 1976. They should’ve known better. Hell, you can argue that comic books are still bad at dealing with race as subject matter. You can very easily argue that. But this thing is legendary for being so out of touch and bad that it became famous. Even if you could set aside the racism, it’s still not good.

The story structure is really bad, Lois’ arc is done within the first few pages, and important characters don’t show up until late in the story. It’s incredibly bad. Deeply bad. So bad that it became a punchline. And now you’ve been let in on the punchline! You didn’t even have to track down a copy.

You’re welcome!
