In which we set the stage for the first, the best, and a personal favorite super-hero, Superman!  In order to properly place him within his context, we backtrack to the creation of the very first comic books. We weave in a few super-important figures in our tale and we leave it at a cliffhanger! Wanna know what happens next? Tune in next episode!

So, what sources did we use?  Check em!

Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters, and the Birth of the Comic Book (Basic Books)
NOTE: This book provided a lot of the background information I used. I know some stuff in there is disputed. I supplemented with info in other sources, particularly in regards to Major Wheeler-Nicholson.
FURTHER NOTE: The author of this book, Gerard Jones, has been convicted of possession of child pornography. My copy of the book came from a library sale done some years before his arrest and subsequent conviction.

We also read some cool magazines with articles and stuff!  Wanna know which ones?
Alter Ego (TwoMorrows Publishing): 27, 56, 79, 88, 98
