The Saturday Evening Post sings his praises, here.
From the piece...
Forget what you’ve read in the comics. Superman was not shot into space as an infant moments before his home planet exploded.
Instead, he was born in Cleveland, Ohio—specifically, in the halls of Glenville High School. And his parents were not Mr. and Mrs. Jor-L (original spelling), but Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
The mythical Superman, as we all know, was faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive (a dated figure of speech that reflects Superman’s age: 75 this month), and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound (before his creators decided he could, in fact, fly.)
The real Superman was a “continuity”—a recurring comic-book character with superhuman powers to create revenue.
