Fair use rationale for Image:Superman423.jpg
Image:Superman423.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Uniting Super-titles...
Is this section needed? It seems a whole lot of information just about the current creative line-up. A similar thing was done in the 90s so it's not unique. Duggy 1138 (talk) 04:48, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Comics Manual of Style
Per the Manual of Style/Comics "The lead section of a character's, team's or object's article should include within the text the issue number and cover date of the first appearance" Please note the term "cover date" rather than "made up date". The Grand Comics Database gives the cover date of Superman #1 as "Summer 1939" and an on-sale date of "1939-05-18". The ComicBookdb gives it as "Summer 1939". Mike's Amazing World of Comics also gives a cover date of "Summer 1939" and an on-sale date of May 18, 1939 and has a snippet view of the Library of Congress copyright record as verification!

So why in the names of Siegel and Shuster did someone change the cover date of Superman #1 to "June 1939"? The cover does not have the word "June" anywhere on it.
