Not long after Superman’s first appearance in Action Comics
#1, published on April 18, 1938 (dated on the cover to June 1938) the
Superman comic strip was published in the Winnipeg Evening Tribune. The promotional article, announced on October
31, 1939, used local landmarks like the Red River and the Golden Boy on the top
of the legislative building dome to stir the young Manitoban’s imaginations.
The strip was announced on October 31, 1939 and finally made
its debut as a daily on November 3, 1939 followed by a color half-Sunday page
the following Saturday.
On September 13, 1941, under a banner featuring portraits of
the creators was an article by John Kobler reprinted from the Saturday Evening
Post.
