Metropolis, Ill., holds its annual Superman celebration this week, and ground will be broken for a statue of Noel Neill, the first Lois Lane. She appeared in the “Superman” serial with Kirk Alyn, and in “The Adventures of Superman” with George Reeves.
This year the celebration brings some of Superman’s “Smallville” friends, including Justin Hartley (Green Arrow) and Phil Morris (Martian Manhunter). The opening ceremony is at 5 p.m. Thursday, and the celebration runs through Sunday afternoon.
The Superman Celebration is always a blast, and while I haven’t made it in a few years, I look forward to making it back someday. The ComicBookCollectorsBlog has a rundown of some of the guests and events, including Neill and comic-book writer Gail Simone.
A complete schedule of events can be found at SupermanCelebration.net. More info also available at the Metropolis Chamber of Commerce.
