Author Brad Meltzer has spent the last two years researching the life of Superman creator Jerry Spiegel for a new novel. However, when he went to the historic house where Spiegel first came up with Superman, he was shocked:
"...[T]he one thing I quickly realized was that this house was in...well...it was in bad shape. The house where Google was created is saved. The farm where Hewlett Packard was founded is preserved. And Richard Nixon’s house is a museum. But the house where Superman — one of the world’s most recognized heroes — was created? It’s a wreck."
So, he started a charity to save Superman's house. The Siegel & Shuster Society is selling tee shirts, auctioning off comic-related items, and taking donations to help save the house and try to make it a historic landmark. If I had the money, I'd be all over these VIP Colbert Report tickets!
