Superman (1987) Issue 59

"Superman's Fiancee Lois Lane"

Clark and Lois try to have an evening date at a restaurant, but, unfortunately, Superman's help is needed, so Clark flies away, hoping to return soon with Lois. However, the rescue operation of a stranded submarine takes longer than he expected, and Lois ends walking out of the restaurant.

The following day, they walk through the park along with MA and Pa Kent, but again Superman needs to save the day, and he flies off to stop a homeless man who stole Bloodsport's equipment and started firing at the street. Superman saves the people from the gunfire, stops the man from committing a suicide attack, and then takes him to the hospital. There, Superman realizes how demanding his life is and how he can't be everywhere all the time.

After that, he takes Lois to the snowy region of Mount Fuji to have time for a private conversation. There, where they discuss how their relationship will work, with all the time Clark spends as Superman and how little he has for Lois. Superman also responds to Lois's question about why he choose to be a Superman instead of any other profession, saying that "no one else can."

Time seems to fly by while they talk about the future of their marriage for nearly six hours when Lois realizes that it's 11:00 PM on Metropolis. However, when they return to the city, it's still 5:11 PM. This phenomenon was caused by one of the Linear Men, Liri Lee, who wanted to compensate Superman for all the months he spent lost in time when he crossed paths with another Linear Man. At the same time, Lois repays Superman for his time by writing an article where she expresses her gratitude, and all of Metropolis', for his service throughout the years.
