Lana Lang Reading Order
This reading order is designed to give an outline of major storylines featuring Lana Lang (sometimes known as Superwoman) throughout DC Comics. It does not encompass every one of her appearances, but is an outline of the major ones and the stories that affect them.
The continuity details relating to each specific storyline are explained in the “Review” of each storyline. Every “Review” link will provide a detailed continuity breakdown of that story and will explain any reference the story makes to other aspects of the DC Universe. All of this can be found under the “Continuity” section of each link.
See our Lana Lang Timeline for summaries of each story arc in this reading order.
