Rainbow Rowell and Cian Tormey make news with Lois Lane this summer!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/em> bestselling author Rainbow Rowell makes her DC debut this July in Action Comics<\/em>, delivering a story with artist Cian Tormey! Together they\u2019ll take on the most powerful woman in Superman\u2019s life\u2026Lois Lane! Rowell and Tormey\u2019s story will run in the pages of Action Comics <\/em>#1067-1069, paired with a lead story by Gail Simone and Eddy Barrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a former newspaper reporter, I\u2019ve always had a soft spot for Daily Planet<\/em> stories,\u201d shared Rowell. \u201cI love that Clark Kent is Superman and also<\/em> a working journalist\u2014and that it isn\u2019t just dusty backstory. It\u2019s a real facet of his character. I love that Clark met Lois in the newsroom, and that they still work there together. (This is so realistic, I swear.) I really like it when comic book romances last\u2026There\u2019s a lot of story to tell after two people say yes to each other. So\u2014even though I was a little nervous about diving into the DC Universe\u2014I couldn\u2019t resist the chance to write a love story that is also a newsroom story, and still a superhero story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe story that Rainbow and I are telling is about Lois finding her strength, with Clark supporting her as she becomes stronger in her convictions,\u201d added Tormey. \u201cHe sees her finding her courage in a new role, her sense of responsibility for everyone\u2014a gentle reminder for Clark of how far he has come, and how far all of us who are not blessed with superpowers can go when faced with adversity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just seen the first of Cian Tormey\u2019s pages, and I think people are going to adore his take on Lois and Clark,\u201d continued Rowell. \u201cCian\u2019s work has a timeless quality that\u2019s perfect for this relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rainbow Rowell fell in love with superhero comics in junior high. She\u2019s written two Eisner-nominated series, Runaways<\/em> and She-Hulk<\/em>, and the bestselling graphic novel Pumpkinheads<\/em>, and is working on the manga adaptation of her novel Fangirl<\/em>. She is best known for her prose novels, including#1 bestsellers Eleanor & Park<\/em> and the Simon Snow Trilogy. This is Rainbow\u2019s first work for DC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
