I read an article once that alleged they ripped off the basic idea from some poor schmuck who never got any credit later. Don't know if it's true or not though.

I mentioned Superman's 75th Birthday to my brother at lunch and he said "So he must be collecting social security by now!"

Happy Birthday to my second favorite DC character. I had a reprint of Action Comics #1. For some reason I thought it was an original. But I closer look revealed a UPC.

In the third picture down, Superman is still buff but has some distinguished touches of grey at his temples. After everything that he's been through, no wonder. I like this Superman, he's got gravitas.
