Superman (1952) Lois Lane (Phyllis Coates) Signed Photos - The original beautiful "girl-next-door" actress to play Lois Lane in the classic George Reeves "The Adventures of Superman" (1952-1958) was Phyllis Coates. She became such a big hit with her beauty and wit that she left the series to pursue bigger "game", and was replaced by the equally delightful Noel Neill. These are two rare "Adventure of Superman" publicity cards showing Coates with Reeves. Both are signed by Phyllis Coates. B&W 8"x10".
