Lucy Lane

Born from the Silver Age imagination of Robert Bernstein and Curt Swan, Lucy Lane made her debut in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #38 in 1959 and has been a cherished part of the DC universe ever since — racking up over a century of catalog appearances across more than six decades and counting. She moves in rarefied company, sharing pages with Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Perry White, Clark Kent, and Lana Lang — essentially the heart of the Superman mythos — which tells you everything about how deeply woven into that world she truly is. Her home turf spans some of the most beloved titles of the Silver Age and beyond, from Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane to Adventures of Superman, and two of her appearances carry the weight of key-issue status for collectors. For anyone building a rich, complete picture of the Superman corner of DC history, Lucy Lane is one of those figures whose steady presence rewards closer attention.
