It’s not everyday we get to save Superman. At least in this case, the house where Superman was born.
As a 17-year old, Superman creator Jerry Siegel dreamt of the idea of the greatest hero of time in a little house that is painted red and blue (for real!). Unfortunately, this house in Cleveland is now in shambles. The city government won’t recognize it, not even a plaque to say “This is where Superman was created” much more have it repaired. So the website “Ordinary People Change The World” teamed up with Jerry Siegel’s wife and family, and many other artists to auction off Superman memorabilia, original artwork, or a walk-on role in “Heroes”.
Some of the items to bid are:
- A walk-on part on the TV show Heroes (bid here)
- A previously secret Superman T-shirt signed by Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel (bid here)
- Be a character in Mark Millar’s War Heroes (bid here)
- The complete list of items for auction are here.
The one-week auction ends September 30, 2008.
After the jump is the video that comic book author and novelist Brad Meltzer made, showing the house where Superman was created.
