![]() ![]() Shuster had loved comics ever since he was a toddler when his father would put him on his knee, unfold the full-color comics page of the Toronto Daily Star, and read such strips as Barney Google, The Katzenjammer Kids, and his favorite: Little Nemo. It seems a matter of fate that they would meet and combine their talents. Shuster had been drawing on every piece of paper he could get his hands on for years. ![]() Siegel had already written and published (using a hectograph) the science fiction fanzine Cosmic Stories. They had much in common: both shared the plight of being small, poor, and unpopular both were Jewish both were avid fans of science fiction both had an interest in the newspaper business, and both had artistic skills and ambitions. Siegel had been a resident of Cleveland since birth, and Shuster (originally from Toronto, Canada) had moved there with his family when he was ten years old. It all began with Jerome “Jerry” Siegel and Joseph “Joe” Shuster, two residents of Cleveland, Ohio. But in true superhero fashion, he has an origin story. It almost seems as if the colorful, caped symbol of truth, justice, and the American way has simply always been around. ![]() He is one of the most well-known and popular characters of all time, known by all and loved by most. ![]()
