Great Scott

And a very happy 70th Birthday to Kal-El. Or rather, the characters introduced in Action Comics #1, which was released on on April 18, 1938, albeit cover dated June 1938. That means that Zatara and Tex "Mr. America" Thompson are also 70 today.

As [livejournal.com profile] querldox points out, in continuity, Clark Kent's birthday is February 29th. Assuming that multiple Crises haven't retconned that away...

Shouldn't your headline be "Great Krypton!" or "Great Caesar's ghost!" instead? :-)

No, that wasn't part of the copyright that Siegel's heirs recovered.
