Minute of the day: Superman

Countdown to the comeback of the Heritage Minutes

Maclean’s is partnering with the Historica-Dominion Institute to celebrate the return of the Heritage Minutes. Over the next few weeks we’ll be featuring the most memorable Minutes, along with a few illustrious parodies, and a sneak peek of the brand new Minute set to be released on Oct. 15 for the bicentennial of the War of 1812.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Joe Shuster, a Canadian-American comic book artist who helped create Superman in the 1930s.

Key quote: “Is he great or what?”
