In its decade long run, “Smallville” has brought over a lot of DC Universe regulars to meet and/or battle the Boy of Steel.

But there’s one character created for the show that hasn’t made the jump to the comic book page–Chloe Sullivan.

That’s all going to change when Action Comics #893 hits stands later this year. After a decade, Chloe will be in the comic book line.

Chloe’s first comic book appearance comes from writer Nick Spencer’s special Jimmy Olsen back-up feature.

“She’s a very successful and dedicated reporter and a major player in Metropolis,” Spencer told TV Guide of his take on Chloe, adding that “she’s the same dogged, funny and principled girl we’ve all come to love.”

Spencer acknowledged that it wasn’t easy finding a way to bring Chloe into the DC Universe due to the character’s television origins.

“It’s a pretty different continuity, which I think has always been the challenging part of bringing Chloe into the DC Comics Universe,” he said. “She’s never existed in the comics before, so in order to make a part of Clark’s life when he was a teenager in ‘Smallville,’ you’d have to do it somewhat retroactively, and it would age Chloe as a character a lot, since Superman is well past that part of his life in the books.”

Somehow, Spencer managed to find a solution that works. In her “Action Comics” debut, Chloe will hang onto many of the traits that have defined her character on “Smallville,” including her romantic relationship with Jimmy.

“She and Jimmy have a previous relationship,” said Spencer, “and that causes him to embark on a huge adventure that takes him across space and alternate realities to prove something to himself and her.”

Chloe and the rest of the “Smallville” crew return Friday on the CW.
