message: This website lists it as PD; is anyone aware if this is true?
:Under US law: probably.  Copyrights required renewal after 26 years in those days and it's doubtful that JS & JS took the trouble to renew it at that time (assuming they'd bothered to register it in the first place).  
:Under EU law (and most of the rest of the world): probably not.  Copyrights usually last 50-70 years after the death of the creator, and Jerry Siegel died in 1996. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 17:59, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is this work PD? 

message: The title of this story did not contain a hyphen ("Super-Man").  It is listed in the magazine's table of contents as "The Reign of the Superman", and (as the article notes) the name was spelled without a hyphen in the text of the story.  There is a hyphen appearing in the typography at the top of the opening two-page spread, but that is because the name is split between the pages, which requires hyphenation just like it would be hyphenated as "SUPER-
MAN" if it were split between lines of text. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 17:59, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Take a closer look at the enlarged page. Super-Man does have a hyphen after the r. It looks smaller than it really is because of the curvature of that page at that part. It's EASY to see here: http://superman.nu/seventy/reign/1.gif Doczilla STOMP! 12:17, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I had no trouble seeing the hyphen (which is why I said "there is a hyphen" above). Shuster (or whoever did the typography) put a hyphen there because he was splitting the word between two pages, and the rules of typesetting call for a hyphen in that situation, so the reader can tell that it's not supposed to be read as two separate words ("super man"). The fact that it is does not have a hyphen any other time it appears in the entire publication makes it perfectly clear that Siegel did not intend for the name itself to include one (like Spider-Man does). -Jason A.

replies: text: Good question. Thanks for pointing this out. Along the way, someone changed the date on the image based on Look up in the Sky!: The Amazing Story of Superman DVD but didn't change it in the opening sentence. Doczilla STOMP! 04:55, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
