As teenagers, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster enjoyed reading about heroes like Flash Gordon and Tarzan. They also made up their own stories. Late one summer night, Jerry had an idea for a hero who would be all the strongmen he'd ever heard of, "only more so." Before dawn, Jerry ran to Joe's apartment, where Joe created sketches. Soon they prepared a series of comic strips. It took three more years to find a publisher, but when Superman finally debuted in 1938, the new superhero was an instant hit. Extensive author's note. Sources. Full-color illustrations.
