Pat Boone

A genuine slice of Silver Age pop culture magic, Pat Boone made his comics debut in the pages of Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #19 in 1960, brought to life by the legendary Jerry Siegel and artist Kurt Schaffenberger. It's a wonderfully of-its-moment cameo — the real-life teen idol stepping into DC's orbit alongside the likes of Superman, Lois, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White, exactly the kind of celebrity crossover that made Silver Age DC so charmingly unpredictable. With appearances collected in Showcase Presents: Superman Family and DC Finest: Superman Family, this curiosity is a delightful footnote for fans who love the era when comics wore their pop-culture enthusiasm right on their sleeve.
