🧵 / 85 years ago today, on 18 April 1938, #Superman made his first appearance ever, in the very first issue of #ActionComics.
An early rendition of #ClarkKent and #Superman, drawn by #JoeShuster. This #artwork was in a package of material he and co-creator #JerrySiegel sent to the newspaper syndicates of the time, when trying to get their newspaper comic strip picked up.
