Happy 75th Birthday Superman

Posted on March 6, 2013 by

This year marks the 75th birthday of Superman.  The Man of Steel was created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born American artist Joe Shuster in 1932 and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. (later DC Comics) in 1938.  Superman made his first  appearance in Action Comics #1 (June 1938) and has since appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games.
