Joe Shuster’s birthday today.

My life would certainly have been different without him!

I had something written but opted not to post because it was too rambling/philosophical for so early in the thread. Without a doubt, an unsung key architect of 20th century global culture.

Superman was my "gateway drug" into superhero comics. He's on my office wall for inspiration (a George Perez homage of Shuster's Superman # 1 cover). So I owe Mr Shuster, and Siegel, a huge thanks for years and years of joy.

When I was assigned to reboot Superman a Boston newspaper objected to a Canadian being put in charge of such a supremely AMERICAN character!

Definitely someone who helped create my favorite genre of fiction.
