Yeah, but the black Lois Lane from the 70s had a big, Pam Grier-style Afro.


I know. But this might be a more modernized redesign to not date the black lois look or make it seem too racist.

I'm still bettings its the Indian/Pakastani "Secret ID" Lois. Busiek recently said he was going to do "a sequel, of sorts" to that story and he's writing Superman "one year later." So it would make sense to have those characters be part of the crisis imagery



Wow.

So the black chick Lois made a few more appearances 30-plus years later, in SUPERMAN SECRET IDENTITY and INFINITE CRISIS.

Apparently it wasn't so beyond the pale as to be ret-conned away. Although maybe sanitized and updated for political correctness.

But there's still no getting around it: They turned Lois Lane into a black chick, to do a "mod" (circa 1971) exploration of racial issues.
