Comments:
The primary characters in this story appear to be Superman and Lois Lane, but they are really Van Zee and Sylvia DeWitt, both of whom are identical in appearance to the aforementioned couple.

Zak-Kul’s enlarging ray from the first story of Action Comics #245 is shown in this story.

Synopsis:
A woman posing as Jane Brown boards a cruise ship. The woman looks like Lois Lane and her cabin-mate suspects that she is undercover. When the woman falls overboard, she is rescued by a man in a Superman costume.

The couple marries and moves to Venus. They have two children, Lyle and Lili. The woman is even granted super powers with a super-serum. However, when she spots her husband kissing Lana Lang back on Earth, she becomes jealous.

They visit the Fortress of Solitude where Superman meets them. The man is Van Zee, a Kandorian who was accidently enlarged. The woman is Sylvia DeWitt, a rich heiress and Lois Lane look-alike. Sylvia realizes that it was the real Superman who kissed Lana, not her husband, Van Zee. The couple is shrunk by Superman and moves into Kandor permanently.
