Original script for the Superman dailies written by Jerry Siegel - Weeks 11-13
Jerry Siegel CollectionJerry Siegel was writing scripts as fast as he could in the wake of Superman's massive success after debuting in 1938's Action #1. The co-creator of the Man of Steel would type out the stories using mimeograph paper in his typewriter, before tearing off the mimeograph and submitting these legendary early stories for publication. There were plenty of hired hands helping Siegel's partner Joe Shuster keep up with the artwork, but these scripts are genuine artifacts of Jerry Siegel's own creative process in the early days of his timeless creation.Jerry Siegel not only wrote the stories for Action Comics and Superman, but also penned the daily scripts for the serialized Superman newpaper strip, which ran from 1939-1966, taking a break to go overseas and support the allies in WWII. These hand-typed pages are wonderful collectibles for Superman fans which provide a glimpse into to creative process behind daily comic strips. Siegel typed his scripts using mimeograph paper in his typewriter, which he would then tear off and submit for publication. These pages contain pre-war scripts from weeks 11-13 of the long-running series.
