Sneak Peek a series of amusing 'Silver Age' comic book covers showcasing DC Comics' award-winning journalist 'Lois Lane', the primary love interest of 'Superman'.
Lois Lane's physical appearance was originally based on 'Joanne Carter', a model hired by Siegel and Shuster, with Siegel eventually marrying Carter.
The character's personality was based on 'Torchy Blane', a beautiful headline-hunting reporter, portrayed by actress Lola Lane in a series of films from the 1930's.
Depictions of Lois Lane have varied since her character was created in 1938, spanning the 70-year history of Superman comics and other media adaptations.
During the Silver Age, she was the star of "Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane".
However, the original Golden Age version of Lois, as well as versions of her from the 1970's onwards, portrays Lois as a tough-as-nails journalist and intellectual equal to Superman.
She has always been the most prominent love interest in Superman's...

Age-appropriate Amy Adams will play intrepid girl reporter Lois Lane in Zack Snyder's new Superman reboot.
Adams just got the news today that she's the new Lois Lane.
"There was a big, giant search for Lois,” Snyder admits to the LAtimes. “For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.”
She gets to make out with Henry Cavill, who will play Superman, and Kevin Kostner and Diane Lane will play Superman's adoptive parents, in some truly boring casting.
So, I really think it's much better that Lois Lane, who has a long, respected career as a journalist at The Daily Planet, and who was modelled after the character of "Torchy Blane" in the 1930s serial films about intrepid girl reporter Torchy Blane,...

Joanne Siegel, the widow of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel and the original model for the Man of Steel's love interest, Lois Lane, has died. Siegel passed away on Saturday, Feb. 12, in Santa Monica, Calif. She was 93. While still a teenager, Joanne (born Jolan Kovacs in Cleveland on Dec. 1, 1917) modeled for Siegel and his partner Joe Shuster. According to the New York Times obit, Lois Lane was inspired by the Torchy Blane character played on-screen mostly by Glenda Farrell in a series of B-movies at Warner Bros. in the late 1930s. Lola Lane, then a Warners contract player along with sisters Priscilla Lane and Rosemary Lane, played Torchy in one single 1938 entry, Torchy Blane in Panama. According to some sources, Lane's name was adopted for the comics' newspaperwoman Lois. The first Superman tales came out that same year. Now, if you look at Glenda Farrell, Lola Lane, or [...]...

Film Noir Classic Collection: Vol. 5, has dusted off eight films of the celebrated genre and adapted them to DVD format. Collections like these, which bring older films to newer light, are godsends regardless (to a degree) of which films are selected, because as timeless as some of these stories and performances might be, the barrier of being stuck in an old format can bury them forever. And these stories deserve to be told. If you watch a few well made noir thrillers you will no doubt see the seeds that were planted in the heads of crime-thriller filmmakers the likes of Martin Scorsese or Michael Mann. Though there are better films in the noir genre that this collection could have culminated, there are also a lot worse. Any fan of noir films or old mysteries and thrillers will be pleased at what this box set has to offer.
