The first Superman comic book cover drawn by Joe Shuster in 1934 for Humor Publishing Inc.

 

This page is dedicated to providing examples of the work of the various artists who drew Superman in the days before DC began adding credits to stories.  It is my intention to include examples of  the work of everyone who worked on the Superman strip before the year 1970.  Biographical information is provided for the most part courtesy of Jerry Bails'  Who's Who In American Comic Books.  This is an invaluable resource and a must for all comic fans.  An issue by issue breakdown of Superman credits, as well as those of almost any comic book ever published can be obtained from the Grand Comics Data Base .  Please check out these highly recommended sources.
