Comics comic book superhero created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster who first appeared in Action comics #1 in 1938. The Superman franchise has spread to almost all forms of media including books, television shows and several films. Considering his popularity, it took a surprisingly long time for a live-action film to be made about Superman. In 1940, Republic Pictures approached DC Comics about doing a serial based on Superman but the negotiations broke down and, after they lost the rights due to legal issues, Republic ended up making a serial based on Captain Marvel in 1941. In 1948, Columbia Pictures finally made the first live-action Superman serial, called "Superman", and two years later, they made a sequel called "Atom Man vs. Superman". Although Superman was not the first superhero character, he popularized the superhero archetype and defined its conventions. Superheroes are often judged by how closely they resemble the standard established by Superman. Important Added Info: Note that this "Superman Memorial Set" is in its original unopened wrapper. Obviously, we did not photograph any of the interior items because we did not want to open the bag (we'll leave that up to the winner of the auction!). Condition: very good to fine. The comic book is in its plastic wrapper and it has never been opened! There are some scuff marks throughout the wrapper but since it has never been opened, the comic and other contents are most likely in quite nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
