The 85th Anniversary of Superman is Coming!

Not too shabby for 85, is he?

April 18th marks the anniversary of Superman’s first appearance in DC Comics. It was on that day in 1938 that the mysterious Kal-El of Krypton made his debut all the way back in Action Comics #1 — that’s a loooong time to be saving the world!

We have TONS of Superman content coming up in April, so be sure to join us here on DCUI as we celebrate the symbol of hope together! :superman:

Happy Anniversary Supes :tada:.

Off the top of my head smashes the clan and up in the sky are probably two of my favorites.

As for fight any with Doomsday. He’s one of my top 10 DC characters so had to go with him.

Can’t believe I didn’t see this sooner! I’ve been a fan of Superman since I was very little. The coolest thing about him at the time was flying, how cool would it be to fly like him, and he has alot of great catchphrase like…

This Look like a Job for Superman!
Up, up and away!
Great Scott!

Superman has really made ways for tons of heroes whether it’s DC, Marvel or IDW comics, I’m really thankful for the Man of Steel. The only thing I don’t like about Superman is when he doesn’t have his red trunk, it may work well for Batman, but for Superman, it suck! Hated the Man of Steel Superman costume, can’t beat Christopher Reeve Superman costume which was perfect. :slightly_smiling_face:
I can really talk about Superman all day, happy 85 years Superman!
