Superman


Beginning in June of 1938 Superman took
flight and began his long journey to see that

Superman's story is
one we are most familiar with, a child being
sent from the heavens to inspire us, to protects us
to show us there is still good in this world. It is truly
an epic journey lasting about 70 years so if you get the chance i suggest you read a few on the man of steel.
