his bold, red cape flying behind him, Superman lifts a
green car over his head as astonished onlookers run
away in terror!

What Makes You Tic?

Speaking around the country, he has shared his message
with hundreds of thousands of people on one simple
topic — tolerance. He lives in New York City and says he
loves dancing, "has a good cry about once a week and
still has dimples!'

On his first comic book cover, in June 1938, Superman
already has established himself as a man you will
never forget.

Superman is still one of the world's most beloved heroes. But few know
the real story of the Man of Steel. In Superman, best-selling author
Larry Tye tells of Jerry Siegel, a shy teenager in Cleveland, and his pal
Joe Shuster, who created Superman to be everything they dreamed
of becoming themselves: brave, handsome, admired. Then came the
publishers and the actors who helped bring Superman to life — and also
brought the complications, the money issues and a series of court battles.

Through the Door of Life:
A Jewish Journey Between Genders

Superman is a story of two boys with a dream that became one of the

"A compelling and moving story of a person transitioning,
not only from male to female, but from a numb, suicidal
'nonexistence' to opening the door of life."
