Cleveland, Ohio, was the boyhood home to both Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and their hometown often was made reference to in early stories from the pair. Siegel’s and Shuster’s two-fisted P.I., Slam Bradley, operated out of Cleveland and, in at least two early Superman stories, the Man of Steel, as well! This panel comes from a Slam Bradley story and, while the Cleveland News-Press did not exist, two of the largest newspapers in the city at the time were the Cleveland News and the Cleveland Press. By coincidence, the two papers later were merged under the Cleveland Press banner.
