In this image, the world got its very first glimpse of Superman as he is depicted in full costume hoisting a green car above his head. Other details include an explosion in the background and citizens fleeing the scene for safety.
History
Superman creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel had been sitting on their new superhero for years trying to find a publication for it. Initially, Superman was a villain who used telepathic powers against humanity. Later, his creators decided he might be more appealing as a hero, so they refashioned Superman and submitted his first story to Action Comics. Initially, the publishers were skeptical of Superman and found the comic weak. However, when the sky-high sales of the first issue were attributed to the Man of Steel, he became a staple in the iconic publication.
