The Superman Family

    (DC, 1974-1982)
™ and © DC Comics, Inc.
Series continued from Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #163

Why should Superman get all the publicity when everyone around him is just as brave and adventurous as the Man of Steel? This series treats readers to stories featuring Supergirl, Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Jimmy Olsen, and many others. The stories are great, showing the characters can hold their own, though it doesn’t hurt that they can call on the old Supester when they get in trouble over their heads.

Originally this series was entitled “Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen,” but no doubt Lois Lane and friends wanted to get into the action as well. This series has had some unique plots in its history, including a marriage between Batman and Catwoman on Earth-2.
