Happy Birthday Supes! I hope you have many more to come!
One correction to an otherwise accurate and thorough accounting of the event: In the paragraph about me, the “new archival document” was my creation, made possible by Karen Green arranging for us to get into the DC Comics vault to look through some of the old issues. I could never figure out why Superman in the issues I saw never looked like the sketch of my father. I now understand that Joe Shuster didn’t draw a majority of the issues. I recently researched which were the first issues credited to have been drawn by Shuster after he met my father. After confirming that Shuster’s drawings of Superman changed to look like the sketch of my father, starting in issue 39 of Superman (March April 1946), I bought a copy and created the side by side by side presentation of a photo of my father just two years before meeting Shuster, one of the sketches drawn by Shuster and one illustration from the first issue credited to have been drawn by Shuster after meeting my father – all with the same 3/4 profile. This is the first comparison that establishes the influence meeting my father had on Shuster’s drawings. I assembled this just a day before the event, so the only way to share it at the event was to bring it and show it.
Thanks David! I’ll correct that.
