A Symbol of Hope & Inspiration

The Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster Superman Plaza will be located in front of the Convention Center in downtown Cleveland, off the corner of St. Clair and Ontario. It will serve as a lasting homage to the creators of Superman while also enriching Cleveland's cultural landscape.

Sculpted by Cleveland artist David Deming, the Superman statue will be set atop a tapering blue pylon, 18 feet in the air, appearing as if in flight. The plaza will include life-size statues of Joe Shuster, Jerry Siegel and Joanne Siegel, the original model for Lois Lane, next to an enclosed phone booth. Joe is depicted sketching Action Comics No. l, while Jerry and Joanne look up at the sky towards Superman.

The Mission

Your support for this endeavor is greatly appreciated, as together, we honor a legacy that continues to inspire generations.

The Siegel & Shuster Society aims to commemorate the creators of Superman with a significant project: the construction of a stainless steel Superman statue alongside bronze statues of Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, and Joanne Siegel.

Collaborating with nationally renowned sculptor David Deming, Cuyahoga County Council and The Siegel & Shuster and Tribute Plaza Committee, the society is dedicated to bringing this vision to life, preserving the creators’ legacy for future generations.
