Action Comics #255 (June 1959) wraps up the Bizarro two-parter from last month. After a battle, the re-duplicated Bizarro is dissolved by kryptonite dust, leaving Bizarro still free to pursue Lois. Lois has a smart idea and duplicates herself, creating a Bizarro-Lois. The Bizarro-Lois professes her love for Bizarro and Superman, thinking it is the real Lois protests and says he may marry her some day. The story ends with Bizarro and Bizarro-Lois jetting off into space to find a place where they can live and the real Lois lamenting how she has to wait for Superman to finally commit to her (more than 30 years, it turns out).
