Action Comics #6
"The Man Who Sold Superman"

Someone is going around claiming to be the Agent of Superman, hell he even has tons of promotional things being made of the license that he somehow owns commercially, and Clark is NOT happy!



Obviously smelling the bs even without super senses, he arranges an interview with the agent to meet Superman, to which he agrees. And Lois happens to catch wind and offers to go on a date with Clark all the while planning on being the one see Superman instead. She does this by drugging Clark's drink when she thinks hes not looking!



As you may have guessed things go a bit wrong, and yet again we find Superman (the real one) having to save Lois again.



A bit more fun with this story, also there was some early dialogue between Lois and Clark that was was funny, even though it was supposed to be serious.

Típica historia de los años treinta. Un hombre se presenta en el Diario donde Clark trabaja, haciéndose llamar el manager de Superman. Clark, por obvias razones, sabe que aquello es una farsa y se atreve a cuestinar la veracidad de aquello. El manager demuestra todos los productos con el nombre Superman que ha creado, e invita a Clark a hacerle una entrevista al mismísimo Superman.

A través de uno de los reporteros (que tiene el cabello rojo por alguna razón, guiño a Jimmy Olsen), Lois se entera de la exclusiva entrevista que Clark ha conseguido. Se las ingenia para engañar a Clark y que este la lleve a la entrevista, por medio de una cita entre ambos.

Todo el plan del manager está en juego, ahora que el verdadero Superman lo confronta, y descubre que un actor intenta suplantar su identidad.

The dialogue between Clark and Lois was pretty cringe. And I have no idea how the song that is sung is supposed to sound. But it was interesting seeing that this showed what it'd be like if there were a Superman imposter.
