Ideas and Concepts:
From the we-could-use-this-guy-today department, via tonight's Superheroes course:
"In the 1930s, America and the world increasingly needed heroes, yet many publishers turned Siegel and Shuster's idea for Superman down, saying it was too crazy, too over-the-top, and too unbelievable.
Finally, however, in June 1938, Superman was published in Action Comics #1, and it appropriately started with an origin story of Superman:the then unnamed exploding planet, Superman coming to earth as a baby, and as he grew to a man, he learned that he had super powers.
He couldn't fly at this time, but he could leap one eighth of a mile over tall buildings. And he wasn't dealing with super villains and alien threats yet. Instead, he was more of a crusader for social justice, fighting everything from gangsters to corrupt politicians and big business. The original Superman represented Everyman, the common man, in a battle for truth and justice."
