Lois & Clark aired on ABC from September 12, 1993 to June 14, 1997, and starred Dean Cain as Superman/Clark Kent and Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane. It was developed for TV by Deborah Joy Levine. The series loosely followed the comic philosophy of writer John Byrne (who revamped the Superman mythos in 1986 with his six-issue series, The Man of Steel), with Clark Kent as the true personality, and Superman as a secondary disguise. As the show's title suggests, it focused as much on the relationship between Clark Kent and Lois Lane as on the adventures of Clark's alter-ego.
