Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster- two high school misfits in Depression-era Cleveland- were more like Clark Kent - meek- mild- and myopic - than his secret identity- Superman. In 1934- they created a superhero who was everything they were not. It was four more years before they convinced a publisher to take a chance on their Man of Steel in a new format - the comic book. The author includes a provocative afterword about the long struggle Jerry and Joe had with DC Comics when the boys realized they had made a mistake in selling all rights to Superman for a mere $130.
