From a small bedroom in the Glenville suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, two Depression-era teenagers—Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster—created a character that would change the world forever. In this special hybrid panel recorded live at the Maltz Museum’s Icons Fest, pop culture historian Roy Schwartz moderates an international conversation exploring the enduring global impact, morals, and legacy of the Man of Steel.
