Curt SWAN 1975 SUPERMAN Action Comics 447 pg STEVE LOMBARD RULES !

Clark, during his long classic 1970s period as a TV newscaster, gets the usual "clumsy Kent in front of a beautiful girl treatment" by beefcake sports reporter buddy Steve Lombard. I always wanted a page with this often repeated practical joke which was usually "answered" by Clark later in the same issue :) Steve arguably was (among with Morgan Edge who was created by Jack Kirby in “Jimmy Olsen”) the best supporting character in the “Superman Family” in the 1970s in my humble opinion ! He first appeared in Superman 264 (June 1973), created by writer Cary Bates, because legendary DC editor Julius Schwartz suggested adding a sportscaster to Clark Kent's news report !Look up my other Swan pages if you like what you see here ! I included some “Steve Lombard Fanclub bonus pics” here with the greatest Daily Planet reporter ever 😊
