Lola Barnett

Lola Barnett is a television journalist working in the bustling Metropolis newsroom environment, rubbing shoulders with Clark Kent, Morgan Edge, Steve Lombard, and Jimmy Olsen as part of the broadcast media world surrounding Superman.

Lola Barnett stepped onto the Bronze Age DC scene in Superman #275 in 1974, a creation of the celebrated team of Elliot S! Maggin and Curt Swan, and she carved out her niche in the bustling, newsroom-flavored corner of the Superman universe. Over a run stretching into the early 1980s, she turns up across Action Comics, Superman, and even The Best of DC, keeping lively company with the Man of Steel himself alongside familiar faces like Clark Kent, Morgan Edge, Steve Lombard, and Jimmy Olsen. With only seven catalog appearances she's a genuine deep-cut find — exactly the kind of character that rewards the curious collector digging into the rich supporting cast that made Bronze Age Superman titles feel like a real, lived-in world.
