How long did the 'Lois Lane, Superman's Girlfriend' and 'Jimmy Olsen, Superman's pal' run? Also, where there any other spin-offs like Perry White or Supergirl?

_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. The magazine was titled _The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl_ beginning with issue 11 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

Uhmmm...actually these are two separate series. The first 'Supergirl' series ended indeed with issue #10 in Sep./Oct. '74. 'The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl' began with #1 on Nov. '82 and lasted for 23 completely original issues, with the title truncated to just 'Supergirl' beginning with issue #13 in Nov. '83. The final issue of the series, #23, came out in Sept. '84. A one-shot Supergirl movie tie-in comic appeared around Dec. '84/Jan. '85.
Still a hot read, and getting hotter. Events are going to be emotionally BRUTAL for the Girl of Steel in upcoming months.....

Sorry about that. My Overstreet Guide had it going from #10 directly to #11, but (with an eye to the calendar) your explanation makes a lot more sense.

Don't forget about Supergirl's run in Adventure.
