Superman: A Celebration of 75 Years

Summary

When Superman debuted seventy-five years ago, it was not merely the beginning for one character, but for an entire genre. The phrase super hero had yet to be coined when ACTION COMICS #1 hit newsstands in 1938, but once Superman entered the scene, effortlessly lifting a car above his head on that first iconic cover, the character paved the way for each of the hundreds (if not thousands) of super-powered heroes written since.
