Superman is a superhero who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics.The character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, and debuted in the comic book Action Comics #1 (cover-dated June 1938 and published April 18, 1938). [1]
By the time the US had entered WWII, Superman had invoked an economic golden age in the comic book industry and had engendered the new genre of the "superheroes" (though whether Superman can be named the first superhero is controversial), which by then had included Batman, Captain America, Namor the Sub-Mariner, Captain Marvel, Robin, the Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman.
In March 1938, they sold all rights to Superman to the comic-book publisher Detective Comics, Inc., another forerunner of DC, for $130 ($2,814 when adjusted for inflation). [12] Siegel and Shuster later regretted their decision to sell Superman after he became an astonishing success. DC Comics now owned the character and reaped the royalties.
