#Action1000 Is Here: 80 Years Of Superman

For 80 years he has been saving our tails and indeed perhaps our souls. Inspiring us to be greater than we thought ourselves able. He's certainly changed me, given me hope, allowed me space to push myself beyond the limits of my patience. Truly, what would a world be without Superman? He paved the way for all of our favourite heroes even if he's not yours personally. A huuuuge thank you to the incredibly talented artists and writers over the years who have given us so much. Within us, Superman will now live no matter how old he gets. Happy Birthday my friend. Art credit: Eddie Liu #Superman #Superman80 #HappyBirthday #ActionComics1000 #DCComics

The New York Times did an excellent piece ahead of today's release along with NBC News, which included a clip of our current Supes.
