"Superman"
Writer: Jerry Siegel
Artist: Joe Shuster

A 13 page story of Superman, that's what sparked a revolution.

Sure, heroes were nothing new in 1938 -- the Shadow, Flash Gordon and other heroic types had entertained readers for years in comic strips and movie serials. But how many of those guys could lift an entire car over their heads?!? In our jaded time, it's impossible for us to imagine the feelings kids must have felt when when they saw that first issue.
