Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #45: The Gambling Gala Where Lois Beats the Odds (and a Bullet!)
Buckle up, comic collectors, because this isn’t just any issue—it’s Superman’s Girl Friend, Lois Lane Vol 1 #45 (November 1963), where our fearless reporter trades her notepad for poker chips and goes all-in on a wild gambling spree! Picture this: Lois Lane, Daily Planet’s nosiest newshound, struts into the glitzy, pre-legal-casino worlds of Las Vegas and Monaco (yes, Princess Grace Kelly’s stomping grounds) to prove “Only Suckers Bet.” Her mission? To debunk every rabbit’s foot and four-leaf clover in the gambler’s toolkit. Spoiler alert: she ends up raking in the dough like a card-counting savant—only to discover it’s all a front for a gang smuggling “hot money.” Classic Lois—sniffing out a scoop and accidentally becoming a high-roller hero!
But wait, there’s more! This issue’s got pizzazz straight out of a Silver Age fever dream: a pendant necklace that stops a bullet (move over, Superman, Lois has her own Kryptonite-proof bling!), plus cameo appearances by DC’s comedy kings, Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope. That’s right—these wise-cracking icons pop in to sprinkle some Hollywood hilarity on Lois’s dice-rolling disaster. It’s like a Vegas variety show crashed into a comic book, and we’re here for it!
Current Value: As of April 10, 2025, this gem’s hovering around $50-$80 in VG/FN condition (because who doesn’t love a slightly loved Lois?). It’s not breaking the bank yet, but it’s a sleeper hit with swagger.
Expected Value Trends: Hold onto your lucky charms, because this issue’s stock could rise faster than Lois’s winning streak! With the Superman movie buzz heating up (thanks, James Gunn!), vintage Lois tales are getting fresh eyes. Plus, Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope’s quirky cameos tie this to their own DC cult classics—collectors might start sniffing around for these crossover oddities. If a big gambling-themed comic event or Lois-centric anniversary drops (75 years of Lois vibes, anyone?), expect this to climb toward $100+ in the next year or two. It’s a bet worth taking!
Key Character Appearances: Lois Lane is the star, naturally, outsmarting crooks and Superman alike. The Man of Steel swoops in to save the day (or at least the pendant), while Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope steal the show with their quick-witted, one-panel glory. It’s a bizarre blend of journalism, justice, and jest—Silver Age style!
Grab this issue now and roll the dice on a comic that’s part caper, part comedy, and all Lois. Because when it comes to value, only suckers bet against the Queen of the Daily Planet!
