Comic book artists and writers: Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster




To start off my new series of posts on comic book artists and writers, I thought I'd begin with the men who gave us THE superhero. If it hadn't been for Jerry and Joe creating Superman, who knows what might have happened? The thing is, their idea was almost completely shelved, if not for National Publications (DC) editor Vin Sullivan buying the character from the boys and giving Superman the chance to fly (back then he didn't fly, just leaped buildings in a single bound). So to Jerry and Joe I salute you, thanks for giving America its first, and finest superhero.
