Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #107

Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #107 (On Sale: November 12, 1970), has a cover by Dick Giordano.

We begin with Lois Lane in  "The Snow-Woman Wept" by Robert Kanigher, Werner Roth, and Vince Colletta. Clark and Lois are sent to Raleigh College to cover separate stories. Lois covers the winter carnival and meets snow sculptor Norman Brooks. Meanwhile, Clark visits the lab of Professor Bridnell who has invented a device that allows animals to breathe underwater. The device is not yet ready for human trials.

When Clark leaves the lab, Bridnell's assistant Dr. Tort attacks him. Tort is working for a foreign power and is out to steal the invention. Taking a break from her own assignment, Lois stops by the lab to satisfy her own curiosity about the invention. She stumbles across Tort who turns the device upon her. Instead of allowing her to breathe underwater, it changes her body into snow.

Tort disposes of the body at the carnival by pretending it is a snow sculpture. Superman realizes it is the real Lois and stops her from melting to death. He returns to the lab. Tort uses the invention on Superman. Superman's power of invulnerability fails him in a moment of weakness, and he begins turning to snow. He is able to reverse the process on himself before it is too late. He then apprehends Tort and his co-conspirators. Using the device in reverse then returns Lois to normal.

Our back-up story is The Rose and the Thorn in "My Executioner Loves Me" by Robert Kanigher, Ross Andru, and Mike Esposito. After the Thorn disposes of three more members of the 100, Vince Adams assigns Beau Benton to kill her. That night, Beau attacks the Thorn on a pier. She avoids his gun and tosses him into the water. The would-be killer strikes his head and is knocked unconscious. The Thorn dives into the water to pull him out.

When Benton regains consciousness, he is surprised that the Thorn saved his life despite his intentions. He decides to ignore the contract and falls in love with her. The 100 then tries to kill Benton, too. When Benton suggests that they leave the country together, Thorn appears to agree. However, she drops him off into police custody instead.
