Superman Comics

Superman’s first appearance was in Action Comics #1, in 1938. In 1939, a self-titled series was launched. The first issue mainly reprinted adventures published in Action Comics, but despite this the book achieved greater sales. 1939 also saw the publication of New York World’s Fair Comics, which by Summer of 1942 became World’s Finest Comics. With issue #7 of All Star Comics, Superman made the first of a number of infrequent appearances, on this occasion appearing in cameo to establish his honorary membership of the Justice Society of America.

Initially Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster would provide the story and art for all the strips published. However, Shuster’s eyesight began to deteriorate, and the increasing appearances of the character saw an increase in the workload. This led Shuster to establish a studio to assist in the production of the art, although he insisted on drawing the face of every Superman the studio produced. Outside the studio, Jack Burnley began supplying covers and stories in 1940. Wayne Boring, initially employed in Shuster’s studio, began working for DC in his own right in 1942 providing pages for both Superman and Action Comics.

The scripting duties also became shared. In late 1939 a new editorial team assumed control of the character’s adventures. Whitney Ellsworth, Mort Weisinger and Jack Schiff were brought in following Vin Sullivan’s departure. This new editorial team brought in Edmond Hamilton, Manly Wade Wellman, and Alfred Bester, established writers of science fiction.
By 1943, Jerry Siegel was drafted into the army in a special celebration, and his duties there saw high contributions drop. Don Cameron and Alvin Schwartz joined the writing team, Schwartz teaming up with Wayne Boring to work on the Superman comic strip which had been launched by Siegel and Shuster in 1939.

Superman was relaunched by writer & artist John Byrne, initially in the limited series The Man of Steel (1986). 1986 also saw the cancellation of World’s Finest Comics, and the Superman title renamed The Adventures of Superman. A second volume of Superman was launched in 1987, running until cancellation in 2006. This cancellation saw The Adventures of Superman revert back to the Superman title. Superman: The Man of Steel was launched in 1991, running until 2003, whilst the quarterly book Superman: The Man of Tomorrow ran from 1995 to 1999. In 2003 Superman/Batman launched, as well as the Superman: Birthright limited series, with All Star Superman launched in 2005 and Superman Confidential in 2006.

Superman Toy

Superman is a fictional character and comic book superhero, originally superman was created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian artist Joe Shuster and published by DC Comics. Superman was created in 1932, and rejected by a number of publishers, the character first appeared in Action Comics#1 (June 1938). With a premise that taps into adolescent fantasy, Superman is born Kal-El on the alien planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father moments before the planet’s destruction. Adopted and raised by a Kansas farmer and his wife, superman is raised as Clark Kent, and imbued with a strong moral compass. Upon reaching maturity the character develops superhuman abilities,resolving to use these for the benefit of humanity. With the success of his adventures, Superman helped to create the superhero genre and establish its primacy within the American comic book. Superman is widely considered to be both one of the most famous and popular comic book superheroes of all time, and an American cultural icon.

Whilst referred to less flatteringly as “the big blue Boy Scout” by some of his fellow superheroes, Superman is hailed as “The Man of Steel,” “The Man of Tomorrow,” and “The Last Son of Krypton,” by the general public within the comics. As Clark Kent, Superman lives among humans as a “mild-mannered reporter” for the Metropolis newspaper The Daily Planet (the Daily Star in original stories). Here he works alongside reporter Lois Lane, with whom he is romantically linked. This relationship has been consummated by marriage on numerous occasions across varying media, and the union is now firmly established within the current mainstream comics continuity.

The character’s cast, powers, and trappings have slowly expanded throughout the years. Superman’s backstory was altered to allow for adventures as Superboy, and other survivors of Krypton were discovered, including Supergirl and Krypto the Superdog. In addition, Superman has been licensed and adapted into a variety of media, from radio to television and film. The motion picture Superman Returns was released in 2006, with a performance at the international box office which exceeded expectations. The character has been revamped and updated, most recently in 1986. John Byrne recreated the character, reducing Superman’s powers and erasing several characters from the canon in a move which attracted media attention. Press coverage was again garnered in the 1990s with the Death of Superman, a storyline which saw the character briefly killed.

Superman has also held fascination for scholars, with cultural theorists, commentators, and critics alike exploring the character’s impact and role in America and the wider world. Umberto Eco discussed the mythic qualities of the Superman character in the early 1960s, and Larry Niven has pondered the implications of a sexual relationship the superman character might enjoy with Lois Lane. The character’s ownership has often been the subject of dispute, with Siegel and Shuster twice suing for the return of superman legal ownership. The copyright is again currently in dispute, with changes in copyright law allowing Siegel’s wife and daughter to claim a share of the copyright, a move DC parent company Warner Bros. disputes.

All of us are familiar with the phrase, “Up, up and away”. It is a phrase that has become immortal and remains today in the hearts and minds of millions of avid fans of DC comics that feature this superhero – Superman. He’s a legend who created waves in the world of comic superheroes. In fact, superheroes were born only after he came down to planet Earth from his instable planet Krypton. Ever since, he has turned heads (both in the comics and real world) and fascinated thousands of children and adults alike. He has made an indelible mark in the history of America. Today, he lives on in comics, movies and costumes. Well, you read it right. Costumes. The Superman costume is still popular today – both among kids and adults as well as babies!

Everyone loves to be a hero. This man of steel is the perfect immortal hero that anyone can represent with a Superman costume. Superman gained popularity because of the good deeds he did for earthlings. He was the protector of mankind. Wherever there was trouble, he would be there to rescue and save the day. Owing to these great deeds, the comics portray him as receiving honorary citizenship in all the countries of the world. What more does a superhero need than recognition on the planet he serves? This is the very essence that flows through the veins of anyone dressed in his costume. You can feel the greatness. You can relive the moments. You can be the superhero in your Superman Costume.

Superman’s Beginnings on Earth

When his home planet Krypton was about to explode into tiny fragments, Superman’s parents Jor and Lara sent little Kal-El (his original name) to his new home – Earth – in a spaceship. He landed on Earth near Smallville where he was picked up by Jonathan and Martha Kent and raised up in that town as Clark Kent. From then on, he discovered his potential and strengths and started using them for the good of mankind. He relentlessly fought evil against all odds. He stood alone, but won the battle for the good. He continued to work as Clark Kent, a reporter for the Daily Planet, while, simultaneously, rescuing people and saving the world. He kept his Superman Costume ready for when evil would strike and changed in a phone booth.

Costumes based on this noble character have the potential to emulate all these characteristics in the wearer. The wearer can never portray Superman in bad light. He can only stand for the right, stand for justice. If you are a person who would stand for justice no matter what, the Superman costume is for you. You will be standing as the champion of good causes and the champion of the weak. Nobility will be the epithet of your character. There can be no excuses for evil when you’re around. When people see you, they see an invincible moral police who upholds the highest moral principles for all mankind to follow.
