Lois Lane, retour aux sources
Lois Lane est l'une des figures féminines les plus connues de la bande dessinée. Mais d'où vient-elle vraiment ? De Torchy Blane, journaliste fictive des années 1930, elle-même héritière d'une longue tradition. Un retour aux sources qui ouvre des pistes inattendues pour le jeu de rôle sur table.https://scriiipt.wordpress.com/2026/05/17/lois-lane-retour-aux-sources/
The Adventurous Blonde (1937) was the third movie starring Glenda Farrell as feisty girl reporter Torchy Blane. Fast-paced light breezy B-movie fun with Torchy investigating a hoax murder that might not be a hoax. Farrell is a delight.

“THE ALL-PURPOSE SPORT SUIT....is advocated by Glenda Farrell, star of the TORCHY BLANE series (for Warners) and one of Hollywood's best-dressed women. From her personal wardrobe, she selects a suit of elephant-grey gaberdine with more to it than the eye can see in this picture.
A tailored skirt of matching color and material can be zipped on so that Mayor Torchy can go to places where slacks might be frowned on!”
Re-watching Glenda Farrell as Torchy Blane in the first entry in the series, “Smart Blonde” (1937). Co-starring Barton MacLane. A fun, light murder mystery.

Seeing Joan Bennett play an enterprising newspaper gal for a portion of “Big Brown Eyes” (1936) brings to mind the prototypical film example of the female investigative reporter of the 1930s, Glenda Farrell. Here is Glenda in “Mystery of the Wax Museum” (1933) and as Torchy Blane in the series she did in the late 1930s with Barton MacLane.
