Hey, Cleveland! Did you know that Superman was created right here in Cleveland? That’s right, on April 18th, 1938 Superman first appeared on the cover of DC’s “Action Comics No. 1” Superman was the creation of local Cleveland residents Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The pair created the Man of Steel during the Great Depression in a Glenville neighborhood home.
Starting this week, and leading up to his 75th anniversary on April 18th, we are asking you to send us your best Superman photos! We want to see your best superman poses, costumes, collections, or whatever you may have! Be creative!
