Joseph Shuster è stato un fumettista canadese-americano, celebrato come co-creatore dell'iconico personaggio di Superman. Sebbene la sua successiva carriera nei fumetti abbia affrontato sfide e sia stata infine interrotta da una parziale cecità, l'indelebile contributo di Shuster alla cultura popolare è stato infine riconosciuto. Il suo lavoro pionieristico ha posto le basi per uno dei supereroi più duraturi, assicurando la sua eredità negli annali della storia del fumetto. L'impatto duraturo della sua creazione continua a ispirare, consolidando il suo posto come figura fondamentale nel medium.
