history: I really  love Superman and the the comics Awesome, I know that this character was created by high school students in 1933. I never knew that, maybe it was his alter ego? Honestly, I am not sure about that. I am sure that the two high school students who created the character were living in Ohio. That is kind of exciting, Superman is from the 40's isnt it? Well, what I know is that Superman was sold to Detective Comics in 1938 Superman has always been an American hero.
