[corsair95]

@spmandmtgr Yes, over $100,000 was raised, enough to fix all of the structural problems and do more cosmetic upgrades than originally expected. There's a more recent video from about a year later with more details. Youtube won't let me post the link in this comment, but search for "superman house thank you".

Someone needs to do a biography of Jerry and Joe, they're minds were what created Superman, but no one knows their story. Superman is simply their legacy, but not the only part of their story, Jerry and Joe's story is one of showing just how far your imagination can take you if you're willing to work hard and never give up, and also just how easily a dream can turn into a nightmare when greed takes over. They were great men and became heroes themselves for their service in the war

Ohio did put a Historic Marker in Cleveland acknowleding that Superman was created in Ohio, it should be moved to the house right now it's sitting in the town center

The saddest part of the Superman story is how DC treated Jerry and Joe, DC's policy when Superman came out was to have the creators sign away the rights to their creations to the company and while DC made a fortune off Superman Jerry and Joe got very little in the way of money or recognition and it got to the point where DC even removed their names from the comics and published their Superboy comic while Jerry and Joe were fighting in World War II without negotiating a deal with them

Superman my favorite but , jerry siegel and joe shuster are MY HEROES. thanks guys you gave people something to believe in.

...I am Superman, and even if you like him or not, he is a legend. I mean without the creation/ideas of Superman, we wouldn't have the majority of the greatest heroes we have now today.
