From everything we’ve seen so far, much of the basic setup for this show is taken from this 8-issue comic series. Like his TV counterpart, this series sees Superman and Lois settling into a freshly minted world in the wake of a Crisis-level event (in this case, Convergence). In this case, the main couple are refugees from an older version of Earth....
A direct follow-up to the above in the wake of the DC Rebirth event, Peter J. Tomasi and artist by Patrick Gleason run with the concept of Clark and Lois as parents. In the wake of a global tragedy, this Superman must step up and become a new hero. One suspects that some of the stories from the new show will be loosely based on this setup. Single i...
Crafted as an “imaginary story” – the kind that the legendary and tyrannical Mort Weisinger concocted during his lengthy editorial run – this is Alan’s Moore pre-Crisis coda. Using the framing device of an older Lois Lane being interviewed, Clark Kent is outed as Superman. His various enemies gathering to work against him and his allies rush to hel...
Greg Rucka puts Lois into full investigator mode when a White House press conference leads her to a secret that will rock the foundations of the world and impact on Superman’s life. Its sort-of-ripped-from-the-headlines leanings had certain corners of the web up in arms, but it showcases Rucka’s innate knowledge of Lane as a character. Single issue...
If you know Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale’s work (Batman: The Long Halloween, Spider-Man: Blue), then you’ll be aware they love two things: classic takes on characters and seasonal snapshots. Filled with Norman Rockwell inspired art, this acts a parallel origin story told from the perspective of Jonathan Kent, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane and Lana Lang. L...
While the lofty title is typical of the mid-80s melodrama (think: Chris Claremont’s God Loves, Man Kills or Jon J. Muth’s Dracula: A Symphony in Moonlight & Nightmares), the subject matter is a little more serious. Originally released as two extra large sized issues (coming to about 100 pages of story in total), Mindy Newell crafts a Lois-centric w...
This is not at the bottom of this list because of any ranking system. It’s down here because it’s the ultimate Superman story. The last Superman story that we might ever need. Written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Frank Quitely. With a year left to live, Superman reveals his identity to Lois to spend his remaining time with her. One of the more to...
The Man of Steel
One of those classic tales that is also very much of its time and place. If Alan Moore and Curt Swan’s Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? was the final word on Superman in a pre-Crisis on Infinite Earthsworld, this John Byrne led mini-series was a declaration of what the Man of Steel would be going forward. It was the official origin — at least up until the universe got rebooted again. Dated, but a good yarn in and of itself.
Kingdom Come
One of the more notorious Elseworlds stories, it deals with an alternate future tension between out-of-touch traditional heroes and their edgier and largely amoral children. While it’s a great story about the restoration of the hope Superman represents, it’s less successful for Lois, and is an example of the notorious mid-90s habit of ‘fridging’ heroines to spur on the male hero. This story has been referenced in the Arrowverse as well, with Brandon Routh returning to play a future version of...
Superman: Last Son of Krypton
Not to be confused with Elliot S! Maggin’s tie-in novel for Superman: The Movie, this arc (also known simple as Last Son) combines the talents of writers Geoff Johns and director Richard Donner. Influenced by the latter’s films, it introduces Christopher Kent, the adopted son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane who is in fact the biological son of General Zod and Ursa. There’s parallels with the newer books at the top of this list.
- Superman: Lois and Clark Dan Jurgens (Writer)
- Smallville Season 11, Volume 1: Guardian Bryan Q. Miller (Writer)
- Superman: Secret Identity Kurt Busiek.
- Lois Lane (2019-) #1 Greg Rucka.
What are some notable comic recommendations (in volume format) that showcase Clark and Lois kissing, having sex, sharing wholesome moments together, etc.? I'm aware that DC Rebirth and beyond has a lot of content of Superman and Lois as a married couple.
