2:00-3:00 - Mort Weisinger and the Witch of Metropolis
Appearing in Action Comics
#1, along with Superman, was reporter Lois Lane. She and the Man of
Steel have appeared in thousands of comics since their debut in 1938. In
almost all of her media incarnations, she is known for being a
determined reporter and Superman's main love interest. However, her
personality has varied radically over time, depending on her writers and
the cultural mores of the era which were changing dramatically during
the 1950s and 1960s. At a time in pop culture when the Superman comic
books reached millions, editor Mort Weisinger, who oversaw the
adventures of the Superman books, imprinted his moral and social views
on children worldwide. Weisinger, known to dictate most of the stories
and all of the themes to his writers for nearly twenty years, used Lois
Lane as a vehicle to express his own often-disturbing personal anxieties
and fears about women, love, and the budding feminist movement. In this
presentation, we will examine Weisinger's personal life and the culture
of his time to discuss how these attitudes were expressed in the comic
books, artifacts which can be used to study gender both diachronically
and synchronically.
