BUT, IN THE NICK OF TIME, HERE’S SUPERMAN!
Animator Max Fleischer is recognized primarily as the creator of Betty Boop but, in the early 1940s, he produced a series of animated Superman episodes that are a wonder to behold. (Click here for more)
Interesting factoids about Superman: He was originally written/drawn as a bad guy something like Lex Luthor and in Cuba he's used as an icon possessing the exact opposite of U.S. connotations... a symbol of American imperialism rather than truth, justice and the American way.
