THE SUPERMAN L.L. TOUR

In Superman's very first appearance in Action Comics #1 (1938), readers are introduced to one of his regular costars... reporter Lois Lane.  Two years later, Superman's arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor, debuted. 

People with the initials L.L. soon became a mainstay in the life of our Kryptonian hero!  In this tour, we'll take a look at the many characters with the initials L.L. who played a role in the existence of DC's original hero!  The entries of this tour will be presented in no particular order.  Enjoy the ride!

 

 

Just for the heck of it, the entries of this tour will be presented in alphabetical order.  Enjoy the ride!

That's 26 characters with the initials L.L. who have interacted with the Man of Steel in the pages of DC Comics.  Can you remember any I may have missed?  If so, please drop me a message and let me know!

As we bring this tour to its conclusion, I can't help but throw in one more entry that doesn't come from within any Superman-related story... but instead is an ironic twist of comic-related fate.

Television's first actor to portray Superman was George Reeves.  In 1958 he announced his engagement to society playgirl.... Leonore Lemmon.
