Superman made an appearance in Nanaimo Tuesday, fittingly at Lois Lane.

Nanaimo’s Lois Lane wouldn’t be complete without Superman, where artist Alyssa Glassford, who signs her work Humanity, is creating a portrait of the superhero on a wall bordering the alleyway near the China Steps this week.

Glassford’s street art earned her an award from the City of Nanaimo in 2016, when she was recognized as an emerging cultural leader.
