After Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster brought the Man of Steel to life in the pages of Action Comics#1, it wasn't long before his popularity skyrocketed. Within a decade, the character had been adapted to live action, headlined a popular radio program, and could be found in not just the pages of comic books, but newspaper strips as well.
