Page "Jerry Lewis" Paragraph 10

As Martin's roles in their films became less important over time the partnership became strained.

Martin's diminished participation became an embarrassment in 1954 when Look magazine used a publicity photo of the team for the magazine cover but cropped Martin out of the photo.

The partnership ended on July 24, 1956.

Attesting the team's popularity, DC Comics published the best-selling The Adventures of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comic books from 1952 to 1957, after which DC featured Lewis solo in The Adventures of Jerry Lewis until 1971.

In this latter Lewis was sometimes featured with Superman, Batman, and various other DC heroes and villains.

It inspired the Filmation cartoons production company to make a 1970 series called Will the Real Jerry Lewis Please Sit Down, with Jerry as the one reality-based character alongside other fictitious one, including fictionalized Lewis relatives.
