A big part of my introduction to comics was through Superman, and when I was growing up I loved all things Superman. I knew everything about his origins, his girlfriends (all with the initials L.L.), his villains (the main one of whom also has the initials L.L.—hmmm), his Fortress of Solitude, his dog, etc. Couldn’t get enough of him. My mom will tell you how I tried and tried to get my hair to form into his curl and never did quite manage it (if only I’d known then that when I grew up my hair, when long, would be wavy enough to make the Superman curl on its own!). In honor of my long-abiding affection for the Man of Steel, I offer today one of the Fleischer Studios Superman cartoons from the early 1940s, recently added by Warner Bros. to their youtube channel, along with the other original eight—check out the fantastic animation!
