Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #80 (On Sale: November 9, 1967) features a cover by Curt Swan and Neal Adams. They made a pretty good team and I love the visual here of Lois ripping out the words "Girl Friend" from the logo."Get Out of My Life, Superman" is by Leo Dorfman and Kurt Schaffenberger. When Superman misses Lois Lane's birthday party, the girl reporter is humiliated. She leaves town and moves to Coral City, home to America's space program. Lois changes her last name to Lorne, takes a job as a nurse, and vows to forget about Superman. Her plan is made easier when she saves the life of astronaut Rand Kirby which begins a romance.
Superman misses Lois after she has left town. When he is assigned to cover a story in Coral City as Clark Kent, he finds Lois. She tells Clark that she doesn't want Superman to find her, but when danger presents itself, she suggests calling Superman for help. After the danger has been averted Lois pretends to be under the influence of truth serum and tells the Man of Steel that she doesn't want to see him anymore.
I believe this was one of three comics I bought the first time I bought comic books. The other two come out in a few days.

that cover probably made kids' heads hurt at the time--"i can see through the cover, yet i can't! to hell with this stress, i'm buying a Charlton."
Actually, this cover was a real change for LL. They updated her looks, gave her a more modern hair style and started putting her in much sexier clothing. She also began to get fed up with Superman. My first issue and so I didn't realize this was a big change until I saw older issues and 80 page Giants later on.
