    Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created the first incarnation of Superman in the early 1930s. They produced early comic strips and comic books featuring prototypical versions of Superman, including one called "The Superman" from 1933. However, these early works went unpublished. Superman was later reinvented and found widespread success when DC Comics published his first appearance in Action Comics #1 in 1938, establishing his identity as Clark Kent and his ability to fight for "truth, justice, and the American way."
