www.comicsbeat.com/2011/10/25/found-the-superman-check-that-changed-history/The 1938 check, signed by National’s Jack Liebowitz, shows payments of $282 for various stories contributed to Detective Comics, Adventure Comics and More Fun Comics, and $130 for Superman. By signing the check — which didn’t even spell their names right — Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel sold off the rights to their one great creation and initiated a legal battle that lasts until this day.

I wonder why this has never turned up until now. I thought it was long gone.

If you shoot me, you're liable to lose a lot of those humanitarian awards.

I'll give him $1300 for Supes, that way...he'll make 10x his money back. It's a good deal.

Ironically, the check used to pay for Superman is most likely much more valuable than the initial purchase if Superman itself.
