The Underground World (1943)

[7/10 · 7 January 2020]

. . . of the gilded gal stripped and painted to death in GOLDFINGER a horrible (if colorful) way to go. However, the demise of this GOLDFINGER girl is quite tame compared to the fate facing "Lois Lane" during THE UNDERGROUND WORLD. Trussed up by mutant bird-men, this dim-witted DAILY PLANET death wish dame is about to become worth her weight in tin foil as her feathered fiends begin to dip her into a boiling cauldron of molten gold. Lois subsequently writes up her close brush with becoming gold dust under the title, "I Almost Became a Life-Sized Oscar" (referencing Tinsel Town's infamous gelded statuettes, which the first entry in her series lost out on in Real Life to Walt's quacking Quislings). Fortunately, her minder from another Mother Planet--"Clark Kent"--immediately snatches this salacious expose from his hapless sidekick's dirty paws and burns it to ashes in order to prevent her from making fool's gold of herself yet again. After all, this wicked wench's strong masochistic streak already has forced the "Man of Steel" to decimate the endangered Bird Man species and blow up part of their World Cultural Heritage Site simply to keep this wayward skirt from reentering THE UNDERGROUND WORLD.
