August 1986. Lois Lane had many solo adventures between 1957 and the Byrne/Wolfman post-Crisis reboot, of which this 1986 miniseries by Mindy Newell and Gray Morrow was the last — and probably the first that could be taken seriously as something other than kitsch. Clearly written for four issues, it was repackaged at the last minute as two double-size issues, presumably to get it out the door before the contemporaneous MAN OF STEEL miniseries made it obsolete. (The story is still grounded in pre-Crisis continuity: Lois has broken things off with Superman, Clark Kent and Lana Lang are still WGBS TV news anchors, and Clark and Lana are dating.)

The unexpectedly downbeat story finds Lois at a low ebb: Recently single, at odds with the Daily Planet's new city editor, and on thin professional ice for flubbing an important interview, she becomes obsessed with the problem of missing children after the body of an unidentified little girl is recovered from the East River. Although it's less polemical than the précis (and the text pages full of statistics and hotlines) might imply, it's clear that the subject matter hit a nerve for Newell, and the main plot is heavy going — maybe too heavy for a Superman-adjacent story, however realistic. The subplots are no picnic either, dealing with Lois's tensions with her coworkers, her unresolved conflict with her sister Lucy, and her now-testy relationship with Clark.

However, this is really the first Lois Lane story to make Lois and the characters around her seem like real people, with grownup problems not related to Superman or the various absurd contrivances that drove Lois's previous solo book. It also features some of Gray Morrow's finest artwork, unencumbered by superhero action. Too grim to easily enjoy, it was nonetheless an important step forward in the treatment of Lois Lane as a character.

like. i do not think you fuckers in my screen understand. mindy newell was not only the first woman to write for selina kyle, but she utterly revolutionized selina as a character after getting the chance to establish who she was in post-crisis continuity with the scraps we'd been given by miller in batman: year one.

like. she was given 4 issues + a 2-parter in action comics (give or take, i admittedly can't remember exactly how long the tin roof club storyline was) & she established so much of what selina is known for to this day. she breathed life into a character who'd been given an entirley new story with very little exploration, and she made her tennacious & messy & selfish & ultimatley still a deeply compassionate human being. she made selina understandably anti-cop, and honestly a bit of an anarcho-feminist (especially if you want to take little birds into account, even though it's a much more recent story) and people responded to it so well that selina was given another solo by dc. and then everything about newell's work that made selina so popular and so compelling was just. utterly trashed over time and she was made so much more 2d. and now we can say she has been under the creative control of a former fuckng cia agent who is proud of his fucking time in a mechanism of imperialist violence.

like i do not think you understand how much i think about that. it upsets me.

In 1986, DC Comics followed in the footsteps of the music industry and their group projects "Do They Know It Christmas?" and "We Are The World," producing a benefit comic where all proceeds were donated to charity to help with the hunger crisis in Africa.

Spearheaded by Jim Starlin and Bernie Wrightson, Heroes Against Hunger #1 featured the work of 100 contributors in a story about Superman, Batman and Lex Luthor trying to relieve hunger in Ethiopa. Creators who participated included John Byrne, Howard Chaykin, Cary Bates, Steve Englehart, Klaus Janson, Mindy Newell, Michael Kaluta, Steve Leialoha, Al Milgrom, Gray Morrow, Bill Sienkiewicz, Walt Simonson, Marv Wolfman, George Perez and many more. Neal Adams and Dick Giordano did the cover.

(Not incidentally, the comic followed the Heroes for Hope X-Men comic from Marvel, which Jim Starlin and Bernie Wrightson also spearheaded).
