December 12, 2010 J David Weter 3 Comments

This week, we look into Superman‘s origin much deeper- by looking at his creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in part one of a three part series on the creation of Superman.

In the midst of the Great Depression, two outcast teenagers would meet and form a bond that would last a lifetime- and create the world’s first Super-hero.

I count down the top 5 Superman books that mean the most to me, and answer a quick e-mail.

We also look at the Superman books for June 2006- Superman #651, Action Comics #838, and Superman/Batman #26 (It’s a tear-jerker).

Plus- Metropolis Idol results for Round 1 Week 1, and announce the combatants for Round 1 Week 2
