Siegel & Shuster Society
About
Something special happened in Cleveland, Ohio, in the early 1930s. A couple of teenagers in the city's Glenville neighborhood came up with an idea that would change popular culture forever. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created Superman, and a legend was born.
They didn't look for publicity, and didn't get much as a result. Years passed, and while Superman soared in popularity Siegel and Shuster seemed to fade into obscurity. The Siegel and Shuster Society is committed to commemorating and celebrating the creation of Superman in Cleveland, Ohio by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
In 2007, The Siegel & Shuster Society was established with the mission to honor the creators of Superman. The Siegel & Shuster Society is dedicated to calling attention to the remarkable events that started with an idea in the minds of two teenagers.

Donate
Contribute to the creation of a Superman statue that will inspire courage and hope in our community.
The dynamic composition of the statues, with Superman seemingly in flight above Jerry and Joanne, while Joe is depicted sketching Action Comics No. 1, captures the essence of their creative process and the iconic imagery of the superhero. This project will serve as a lasting homage to the creators of Superman.
Tribute Plaza
The Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster Tribute Plaza, set to be located in front of the expanded Convention Center in the heart of downtown Cleveland, will serve as a lasting homage to the creators of Superman. The plaza will feature an 18-foot-high tribute to the Man of Steel, sculpted and cast in stainless steel by Cleveland artist David Deming, alongside bronze statues of Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, and Joanne Siegel, the original model for Lois Lane.
