The Red Kryptonite Tour - Part 6 (1966 and 1967)
From the founding of the republic to the modern era, the office of President of the United States has carried extraordinary weight. As head of state, chief executive, and commander in chief, the President faces constant scrutiny and decisions that can shape the course of history. Wars, economic turmoil, and social change have all tested those who have held the office, making it one of the most demanding roles in the world.
Yet for all its gravity, the presidency has also found itself reflected in popular culture in unexpected and sometimes amusing ways. One of the more unusual honors or hazards of the office is being written into the pages of comic books. In the four-color world of superheroes and supervillains, Presidents have delivered speeches, been rescued from alien invasions, authorized daring missions, or occasionally found themselves imperiled by mad scientists and cosmic threats.
In this quick tour, we’ll look at the many times Jay Garrick shared a cover with Barry Allen in the years that followed their first meeting... moments that helped cement Jay’s lasting place in the Flash family for decades to come.
Lois Lane made her debut alongside Superman in Action Comics #1 in 1938, introduced as a sharp, fearless reporter whose determination often put her at the center of danger and adventure. Over the decades, her personality evolved with the times: brash and competitive journalist, wannabe wife, independent feminist, and world-renowned reporter. Likewise, her relationship with Superman/Clark Kent shifted as social attitudes changed, moving from playful reporter rivalry and secret-identity misunderstandings to a deeper partnership and mutual respect. Despite these changes in tone and characterization, one constant remained throughout the years: Lois’s enduring desire to marry Superman.
In this tour, we will take a look at all the wedding dresses that Lois has been seen sporting over the 59 years that led to her eventual real marriage to Superman in 1996!

The Red Kryptonite Tour - Part 5 (1965)
In 1976, Robin encountered a bizarre and enigmatic young woman who introduced herself as The Joker's Daughter. She's decked in a costume that resembles the one that Joker typically appears in, and taunts Robin relentlessly. Though she's presented as a villain, she seems more intent on simply taunting our hero and declaring that she's going to figure out his secret identity!
To find out more about this bizarre character (who is still appearing in DC stories to this day), drop your fare in the meter, grab a seat, buckle up, and enjoy the trip!
