CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman Day!
While the June 12 holiday may be atypical, Clevelanders still have a reason to celebrate.
That’s because the comic book hero was created right here in Cleveland’s Glenville neighborhood.
Glenville area residents Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created the Man of Steel during the Great Depression.
Just eight years after the duo met at Glenville High School in 1930, Superman made his debut on April 18, 1938, on the cover of DC’s “Action Comics No. 1.”
Enthusiasts can visit Seigel’s childhood home, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and ironically painted blue, red, and yellow, on 10622 Kimberly Avenue.
Time to it get the cape out of storage and slip into your red shorts because Friday, June 12 is the seventh annual Superman Day.
Started back in 2013, just as Henry Cavill's Man of Steel was blowing into theaters, the yearly event has become a bit of a thing amongst fans of the flying boy scout. Comic-book stores have given out free issues of Superman titles, conventions have been staged around the country and, this year, MEZCO Toyz is releasing a collectible figure worth its weight in Kryptonite.
Based on Christopher Reeve's inimitable take on the character in Richard Donner’s 1978 Academy Award nominated film Superman, the One:12 Collective Superman is outfitted in his iconic suit from the feature, which proudly displays the "House of El" family crest and features a cape with an integrated posing wire. In addition, there are two head portraits included, along with an illuminated Fortress of Solitude base.
For your TV bingeing pleasure, the CW app and TheCW.com has the last five episodes of the fabulous Melissa Benoist's Supergirl for free and Netflix has all five seasons — including the episodes that introduced Tyler Hoechlin as Kal-El to such acclaim that he landed his own series, Superman and Lois, on the network this fall. Hulu is where you can stream all 10 seasons of Smallville with Tom Welling as young Clark Kent, and the DC Universe platform is packed with Super-related titles. From the syndicated series The Adventures of Superboy and ABC's Lois & Clark to the classic 1950's serial The Adventures of Superman starring George Reeves and Syfy's fantastic prequel series Krypton, there is enough here to fill a month's worth of Superman Days.
Oh, and if you're looking for something to read, DC Comics released "Superman Smashes the Klan," a startlingly timely YA graphic novel that sees the Daily Planet's second-best reporter fighting the good fight as only he can.
