Superman creators jewish

Born in 1914 in Cleveland, Ohio, Jerome Siegel was, as a teenager, a fan of the merging literary genre that came to be known as science fiction.  Together with schoolmate Joe Shuster, Siegel published several science-fiction magazines and, in 1933, they came up with their own science-fiction hero - Superman.  Siegel scripted and Shuster drew several weeks' worth of newspaper strips featuring their new creation, but garnered no interest from publishers or newspaper syndicates.  It wasn't until the two established themselves as reliable adventure-strip creators at DC Comics that the editors at DC offered to take a chance on the Superman material - provided it was re-pasted into comic-book format for DC's new magazine, Action Comics.

Jerome Siegel and Joe Shuster also created the costumed character of Superboy - Superman when he was a boy.  Siegel wrote the very first Superboy story, which was illustrated by Shuster, but it di Joe shuster art.
