TORONTO (February 4, 2005.) - Canada is about to get its own national award recognizing outstanding achievement in the creation of comic books: the SHUSTER, named after pioneering Toronto-born artist Joe Shuster who, along with writer Jerry Siegel, created the iconic super-powered hero, Superman.
In addition, Superman's alter ego, Clark Kent, worked for a newspaper that in the earliest adventures was named the Daily Star, a tip of the hat to the Toronto Daily Star (as the paper was then called).
In fact, Shuster had been a Star paperboy and had grown to love comics while sitting on his father's knee and listening as his dad read the Star's comic strips aloud.
