I had to smile when I saw that picture and read your suggestion.
I have been trying to work on a story along these lines (well, sort of) with the working title of "Lois Lane Meets The Phantom" for over a year. I have pages of notes and at least two false starts so far. In fact, this is the "Congo" story that I referenced in my muse discussion from seven months ago
here .
If my muse ever decides to come out of hiding I have high hopes that it will be my next non-short story. If I do manage to produce a non-short this year (ever again?), this will be it.
