Siegel never really made any money from Superman and is no longer associated with Superman in any way. He has been back to DC to deliver a parcel. Jerry Siegel, a student at Glenville High School in Cleveland, and his class-mate, Joe Shuster, had become friends because of a shared interest in comic strips, particularly heroic fantasies like Tarzan and Buck Rogers. They began to make Comic strips of their own; Siegel wrote and Shuster illustrated. As Siegel later told the story to a writer for the Saturday Evening Post, the idea for the new strip came to him one hot night in 1932, as he was trying to fall asleep: "I am lying in bed counting sheep when all of a sudden it hits me. I conceive a character like Samson, Hercules, and all :he strong men I ever heard tell of rolled into one. Only more so."
