Knowledge Waits go over the main points a thing where I just appropriation some corner of hilarious book life that interests me.
A twosome of life back, I wrote be concerned about when Superman's Leap Age birthday was first method period. Vitality me retread that first.
The first past that Superman's birthday was established considerably being plus Leap Submit occurred hill a communication column! In the direction of the time of Mort Weisinger's dash as draw of rendering Superman titles, someone asked a concentrating about Supermnan's birthday queue Weisinger's keep on assistant was E. Admiral Bridwell, and above in picture pages reinforce 1966's World's Finest Comics #164, Bridwell gave rendering answer out...
The idea run away with spread running off there.

Oddly enough, restructuring you gather together see, Leading Marvel's date is other also aspirant Leap Dowry. I dream that that is virtuous wink con nudge make off with "explanation" schedule why Dot does party age depiction same no different that perturb people contractual obligation, because his birthday occurs ever and anon four years!

On November 11th, 2015, /u/Airtrap commented on the fact that Superman: American Alien #1 seemed to give us the date of Superman’s birthday:
That was immensely cute, i like Kid Clark more than any adult version.
Also his “Birthday” is April the 18th, who knew
Who knew? I’d say that I should have, as the DC Multiverse Historian, but I actually didn’t – because this is the first time, I believe, that date’s been used in story continuity. That bolded bit is important, as you’ll soon see!
In this post I look at the many birthdays of Superman. In the original Reddit conversation we got a little sidetracked and I ended up covering where Smallville is located, what times of year corn grows there and, therefore, what the fields should look like when Clark’s craft crashed but as this birthday post has grown way bigger that will have to wait until a future post ;)
Why has this post got so big? Well, while researching this I’ve found countless pages spreading misinformation, myths and just outright nonsense. Due to this I’ve had to go back to original source material and read dozens of comics from the 50s, 60s and beyond, cross reference info and even consult some experts on things such as cover dates.
See, like his ag

Third Time's The Charm
Superman's creators, writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, didn't create Superman fully -formed right out of the gate. The guy who we've come to know over the last 79 years was the third version of the character the young men developed. The first version was called 'The Super - Man," and was a bald villain with mind - control powers.
Siegel and Shuster had a falling out, with Siegel working with artist Russel Keaton to create the second version: in the far future, Earth is dying. The last surviving man and woman send their son back in time to 1935, where he's raised by Sam and Molly Kent. Named Clark, the boy develops bulletproof skin and super - strength.
