🧵 / According to famous #ComicBook industry icon #JuliusSchwartz , #Superman creator #JerrySiegel used to correspond in 1930 with Walter Dennis, a Chicago newspaper #reporter and #scifi fan. Siegel had co-creator #JoeShuster use Dennis' likeness to create Superman'a alter ego #ClarkKent in #ActionComics.

The name Clark came from actor #ClarkGable and Kent came from actor #KentTaylor.

Just finished watching "Phantom from 10,000 Leagues", which doesn't really include a phantom or go as deep as 10,000 leagues, but it is silly fun. You can see #KentTaylor without his pencil-thin mustache, and an underwater monster I find adorable. Apparently the study of oceanography inevitably leads to radioactive death rays. Who knew? #BadMovies
