    May 21, 2013: Cartoon Art Museum Celebrates Superman's 75th AnniversaryPrint

    Action Comics #1 The Cartoon Art Museum is celebrating the 75th anniversary of Superman with an exhibition exploring the long and storied history of The Last Son of Krypton, from his earliest incarnation when he launched the Golden Age of comics through his bizarre adventures in the Silver Age of comics to the modern era, where he continues his never-ending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

    The Cartoon Art Museum explores the rich history of Siegel and Shuster's creation through original artwork by such notable talents as Golden Age Superman artists Fred Ray, Wayne Boring; Curt Swan, often cited as the character's definitive artist; the legendary Neal Adams; John Byrne and Jerry Ordway, who revitalized Superman in the 1980s; the artists responsible for the widely-publicized "Death of Superman" storyline in the early 1990s, Jon Bogdanove, Jackson Guice, Dan Jurgens, and many others. Vintage movie posters, toys, and props will also be included in this historic display.

    Programming for this exhibition (to take place at the Cartoon Art Museum at 655 Mission Street, San Francisco) will be announced throughout the summer.

    Watch the Cartoon Art Museum website for further details. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter.
