"The Man Who Stole Superman's Eyes!": Superman and Lois Lane run a ruse in which Lois pretends to be Opticus, a villain who robs Superman of his sight, in order to trap the Skeleton Gang. Later, Superman admits that Lois Lane is the only woman he will ever love, and Lana Lang decides to leave Me

Quote1 Could I trust you, Lana? Would I have had to do any of this if you hadn't undermined my plans for capturing the gang? And didn't you sneak out to the test-site in the trunk of Steve's car? This is what I've been trying to make you understand-- Why a "thing" between you and me just wouldn't work out! It takes more than love to make a relationship work-- It takes trust! Lois was the only person available whom I could trust enough to ask for help with this hoax! Thanks to mutual trust, Lois and I are able to help each other! I may never find a way to share this crazy life of mine with a woman-- But if I ever do... It's going to be with Lois! Quote2

Notes

  • The Skeleton Gang is made up of the remaining members of SKULL.
  • Superman makes clear to Lana Lang in no uncertain terms that he is breaking off any romantic relationship they once had, justifying it by saying that he can only trust Lois Lane to follow his instructions when investigating super-villain activity. While the issue's events bear this line of logic out, the exact reverse of this rationale would ironically be used later by Clark Kent to justify why he would later pursue a relationship with Lana over Lois in Action Comics #556.
