Welcome to the Superman Super Site


Superman is the brainchild of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster who first envisioned the character in 1932 and later had his first appearance in Action Comics #1 in June 1938. What Jerry and Joe did not know at the time was that they had created a character that would become the signature icon of DC Comics and the most universally recognized hero in human history.

Since 1938, the character of Superman/Clark Kent has appeared in every imaginable media form including television, film, novelizations, and even a Broadway show.

Being Superman is the childhood fantasy of every little boy and girl (they of course want to be Supergirl). He is an enduring emblem of the American dream, the young immigrant who comes to the United States, embraces the culture and makes something of himself and enriches his adopted nation. He is a classical hero in the modern age who fights criminals, rescues the helpless and has a sense of morals and justice as strong and unshakeable as he is.

Since 1998, the Superman Super Site's mission statement has been to bring you all the latest news, updates, and information pertaining to the Man of Steel and the Superman universe in general.

It is a mission we are proud to maintain for all the fellow Superman fans of the world and everyone who visits our site because, without you, we would not exist.

A popular 20-foot-tall No. 2 pencil sculpture located on the lawn of a historic home in the Lake of the Isles area of Minneapolis, Minnesota has been dressed as Superman for the Halloween season complete with the iconic red & blue costume, flowing red cape, and Clark Kent's glasses.

"At first the pencil thought he would be shy to have the costume on standing on the front lawn, but now he loves it and is having so much fun with all the people stopping to take pictures," stated property owner, John Higgins in an interview with the Minnesota Star Tribune. "On the weekends, we put a speaker outside and a few times as people walk by we play R.E.M.'s song 'Superman.'"

The sculpture was created from the base of a massive 180-year-old bur oak that was partially destroyed in May, 2017 when a sudden and violent windstorm swept through the area. Higgins along with his wife Amy commissioned artist Curtis Ingvoldstad of Big Woods Sculpture to carve the sculpture which receives a sharpening every year during a community event on the first Saturday in June.

"The pencil has a personality, and likes to do stuff regular people do - enjoy sunsets, pose for pictures with people, etc.," added Higgins. "The pencil wanted to put on a costume for Halloween and hopes to go trick-or-treating."

The pencil sculture is located at 2217 E. Lake of the Isles Parkway in Minneapolis, MN and will continue to don it's Superman costume through the first few days of November.

Nearly 1,800 bidders worldwide collected every one of the 489 comics and original works of art offered by Heritage Auctions in "The Christine Farrell Complete DC Collection: Comics & Comic Art Signature Auction" which took place October 25th & 26th and surpassed all expectations by realizing $5,261,617 when it ended Saturday afternoon. And many of those historic books set auction records, which comes as no surprise to Heritage Auctions Vice President Lon Allen.

"Christine's journey to gather these iconic comics has gifted us not only a legendary collection but also a moment to celebrate the rich legacy of comic history," Allen says. "Watching so many of her pieces find new homes was truly special, and we're grateful to Christine for her vision and thrilled by the extraordinary excitement from collectors who recognize just how invaluable these pieces are. This auction and those to follow will be remembered for years to come."

Heritage will present books from Farrell's collection into the summer of 2025.

This initial auction's top lot comes as no surprise: a trimmed and restored CGC Apparent Fine 6.0 copy of 1938's Action Comics No. 1, the most important comic ever published that introduced a Superman awaiting his big-screen return in Gunn's reintroduction to the mythic Man of Steel. There are but 81 copies of Superman's debut in CGC's population report, among them 36 restored copies. It's valuable and historic no matter the condition, and sold for $324,000.

Farrell's copy of Flash Comics No. 1, graded CGC Very Good/Fine 5.0, placed second in this momentous auction, realizing $174,000 - the second-highest amount for which this Golden Age gem has sold at auction. And a copy of More Fun Comics No. 52 graded CGC Fine 6.0, featuring the debut of the Spectre, realized $132,000, second only to the CGC Very Fine+ 8.5 copy sold at Heritage in December 2022.

Not far behind DC's original speedster was a far lesser-known and far harder-to-find book that smashed its previous auction record: a CGC Near Mint+ 9.6 copy of 1938's New Adventure Comics No. 27 that bears the vaunted Mile High Pedigree. The cover, by Creig Flessel, makes this a must-have among collectors, as he was among the earliest DC illustrators and is best known for drawing the Sandman. But the comic's interior renders it historic: Readers who opened the book got their first look at Superman, seen in a black-and-white ad for Action Comics No. 1, which shared a publication date with New Adventure Comics No. 27, June 1938.

A bidding war over this trophy resulted in a record price of $168,000, exactly 10 times more than the comic book's previous high-water mark.
