Superman in the Mass Media and Marketing
By Steve YounisThanks to a friend of the Superman Homepage, we have the following collection of magazine covers and pages, some dating back more than 20 years, showing various ways Superman has been used in the mass media.
This collection of tear-sheets illustrates just how deeply embedded Superman is in the mass consciousness. He is such a recognizable symbol that a wide variety of magazines use the Superman motif (especially the "S" logo) to convey the idea of strength and power at a glance.
Also included are advertisements, showing how Superman has also been used many times over the years to advertise a variety of different products.
