ive gotten a lot of paperbacks from that era recently, and the stories are fun laregly case they are just SO nutty. the superman tales from that time are particularly funny. Lois is obsessed with marrying superman to the point that she is almost like a stalker. in an imaginary tale of the time has her barging into perry whites office while he is talking to superman, and saying that since it is now leap year she has the right to ask superman to marry her(?!) she tells him "dont tell me how the life of your wife would be in constant danger from your foes because id rather be happy with you a short while as your wife, and die--then spend my whole life yearning hopelessly for you!" she didnt even bother to say hi, she just launches all this at out of nowhere. superman should probably get a restraining order, but surpirsingly he accepts. when they get married she takes "lois superman" as her married name. through some bizarre twist of fate she ends of slowly dying and she doesnt tell superman. at the end of the tale she thinks "soon i will never feel his touh again...hear his laughter...thrill to his dynamic prescence!" you cant tell me the writers of these things were taking them seriously, they were clearly having fun righting over the top dialogue like that, lol. i love the silver age, lol

or the classic tale of superman finding a threatening note in the fortress of solitude saying that someone else has been there, they know his secret, and they will expose it to the world. after being put through much agony trying to figure out who did this to him(spoiler)...
its revealed that batman broke in to the fortress, and was just follin with him as a birthday gag. he baked him a gigantic birthday cake, and the story end with superman cutting it(and presumably the two of them ate several metric tons of cake that night).
