Thank you for the info. Did Superman appear in Action Comics or a newspaper comic strip first?

BTW, I’m still mourning my loss of the first 100 issues of Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos back in the 70’s when I discovered upon returning from Germany, that mice had gotten into them during my overseas tour.

No. The comic book was a hit first. It is true that the earliest comic books were simply reprints of newspaper strips, with More Fun Comics being the first with "All New" material. That is part of the reason they are called "comic" books, even though superheroes and later lurid horror and scifi would dominate, not the humor characters (Archie, Dennis the Menace, Richie Rich, Little Lulu) that have had a role, but never a dominant one. Sorry about the loss of your Sgt. Fury's. I lost some 1940s vintage Whiz Comics in a botched move.
