Superman's advice re immigrants (1960)


I found this page in a 1960 "Bob Hope" comic book (published by DC comics).

Everyone knows that Superman was an immigrant; fewer people realize that "the creators of Superman, the scenarist Jerry Siegel and the draughtsman Joe Shuster, were children of Jewish immigrants."

    There is also a Batman one. And it's a crying shame that DC (Time Warner) hasn't sold this as a poster.

    Superman was a refugee and an adoptee. It's part of why he's such a perfect role model for what America is supposed to be. But that America is dead. Long live the empire, I guess...
