Created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, she first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 1938). Lois is Superman's chief romantic interest, and for fifteen years in the DC continuity, was his wife. Lois Lane's character was created from many influences, her physical appearance was originally based on Joanne Carter, a model hired by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster who would later marry Siegel. The character's personality was based on Torchy Blane, a female reporter featured in a series of films from the 1930s. Siegel took her name from actress Lola Lane, who portrayed Torchy in one of the middle entries. She is also based on real life journalist Nellie Bly.
