Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 1938). Siegel and Shuster sold the rights to the company for $130 and a contract to supply the publisher with material. The Saturday Evening Post reported in 1960 that the pair was being paid $75,000 each per year, still a fraction of DC's Superman profits. In 1964, when Siegel and Shuster sued for ...

Birthright
In 2003, DC Comics released a 12-issue miniseries called Superman: Birthright, written by Mark Waid and penciled by Leinil Francis Yu; this series was a retcon of Superman's Post-Crisis origin, replacing Byrne's version, yet using some elements from that version; it also reintroduced various Pre-Crisis elements discarded in Byrne's revamp, along with elements that subtly tie into the Smallville television show. Due to the effects of Infinite Crisis, both Birthright and The Man of Steelwere re...

The All-Star imprint atte...
