"Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Superman!"
Those words are well known to superhero fans around the world. Since his debut in DC's Action Comics #1 in 1938, Superman has perhaps become the world's best loved superhero.
Sometimes called "the big blue boy scout," this American icon is known for always doing the right thing and making sacrifices to save people in danger.
He appeared in print and radio media at a time when the American people longed for a hero - they were in the midst of the Great Depression and soon to be drawn into the war that was raging in Europe.
Superman is an "every man" - he is an orphan, a refugee, a poor boy from the country, and a blue collar worker trying to make it in the big city.
Superman was sent away from the planet Krypton, which was destroyed by the greed of the people who inhabited it.
Superman derives his powers from the Earth's bright sun and disguises himself as "mild mannered Clark Kent, reporter for the Daily Planet."

His iconic logo has been said to be the shield of the House of El, his biological family on his home world. Other works have said that the "S" shape stands for "Superman" or for hope in the language of Krypton.
Whatever the meaning of this piece of pop art history, you can draw your very own Superman logo. All you need is a piece of paper and something with which to draw.
If you wish to color your logo in its classic style, you will also need red and yellow crayons, markers, or colored pencils.
Notice that in each illustration of this drawing guide, the new lines are highlighted in blue. Sketch lightly at first, as you will be erasing many of your original lines as you go along.
