Making his first appearance in Action Comics #1 (June 1938), Superman was an immediate hit with the American public. Finally in 1938, after some revisions and a bit of luck, DC Comics agreed to publish the exploits of Superman in their new comic book, Action Comics. When they first met in 1930, Shuster and Siegel were two shy, unpopular Jewish teens from Cleveland who shared an affection for science-fiction pulp magazines. Immediate friends, they began collaborating on comic book projects. Through the mid-1930s, they were unsuccessful in selling their original superhero story to publishers. Joe Shuster (1914-1992) is best known for creating the world’s first superhero, Superman, in collaboration with writer Jerry Siegel.
