I posed a couple of questions about how long the Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen spin-offs lasted and whether there ever was a Perry White comic, but my server went down before I could see the responses. Can anyone fill me in or point me to a source? Thanks.

I'll repost. My original post had an error in it, which I'll take the opportunity to correct here.

_Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen_ ran for 163 issues between Sep-Oct 1954 and Feb-Mar 1974.

_Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane_ ran for 136 issues between Mar-Apr 1958 and Jan-Feb 1974; a 137th and final issue was published in Sep-Oct 1974. There's a briefly lived, post-Crisis _Lois Lane_ book, too, about which I have no data.

While the pre-Crisis Supergirl was long featured in _Action Comics_, debuting in issue 252 (May 1959), she never succeeded in her own magazine. _Supergirl_ debuted in Nov 1972, published nine issues through Dec-Jan 1973-74 and a tenth in Sep-Oct 1974.

A new Supergirl magazine titled _The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl_ was first published in Nov 1982. The title _Supergirl_ was resumed with issue 14 in Dec 1983. The magazine finally folded with issue 23 in Dec 1984. The post-Crisis _Supergirl_ mag has been vastly more successful, of course.

The title of the Jimmy Olsen magazine was changed to _Superman Family_ with issue 164 in Apr-May 1974, and lasted for another 58 issues before it finally folded in 1982. This mag included ongoing Olsen and Lane stories, as well as some about Superboy, Supergirl and other characters.

There was no Perry White magazine.

Thanks. Boy it sure seems that I bought some Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen comics but maybe I bought them used or perhaps I'm remembering separate stories about them using their subtitle descriptions.
