Nice, and he also helped with the creation of the superhero archetype.
Maybe in movies, but superman still is the top dog in american comic books.  If anybody reads those anymore.
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.
With this success, Superman helped to create the superhero archetype and establish its primacy within the American comic book.
