Superman's Canadian Roots

Superman, the iconic superhero, has Canadian origins! Co-creator Joe Shuster was born in Toronto and based Metropolis partly on Toronto and the Daily Planet newspaper on the Toronto Daily Star where he worked as a paperboy. These Canadian connections influenced many visual elements of the Superman comics when they first appeared in 1938. 🦸‍♂️

In 1980, Marvel’s Thor fused Wagner’s Ring Cycle with Norse myth. Roy Thomas kicked it off with Alberich swiping the Rhinegold in 294. Each issue from 295–299 matched a Wagner opera. Mythic comics done right.
