General Description : | With the iconic “S-Shield” across his chest and his flowing red cape, Superman is the most recognizable Super Hero ever depicted in comics, on radio, on television or at the movies. Today Canada Post is celebrating the 75th anniversary of Superman’s debut in Action Comics #1 with a six-stamp issue that highlights his evolving image since he was co-created in 1938 by Toronto-born artist Joe Shuster and Cleveland writer Jerry Siegel, his high-school friend. |
