This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike dive into one of the strangest Silver Age Superman stories ever published: “The Curse of Lena Thorul” from Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane Issue 23 (1961).

Sent to a New England town famous for witch trials, Lois Lane stumbles into a mystery involving disappearing objects, ancient spell books, reincarnated witches, and a woman who looks exactly like a centuries-dead sorceress. Naturally, things escalate quickly. Typewriters vanish, books turn to dust, and Lois becomes convinced she’s been cursed.

Enter Superman, who doesn’t believe in superstition… despite being an alien from another planet. As the story unfolds, the truth behind the “witchcraft” is revealed to be classic Silver Age comic logic at its finest!
