95 years after the first publishing date or 70 years after the DEATH of the authors, whichever is later... so when did the two creators of Superman die?


So technically speaking, Spider-Man will be safe for the rest of my lifetime if STan lee dies 10 years from now. Come one Stan LIVE!

Jerome (Jerry) Siegel a.k.a. Joe Carter (October 17, 1914 – January 28, 1996) was the co-creator of Superman, the first of the great comic book superheroes and one of the most recognizable fictional characters of the 20th century.

Joseph "Joe" Shuster (July 10, 1914 - July 30, 1992) was a Canadian-born comic book artist best known for co-creating the DC Comics character Superman, with writer Jerry Siegel, first published in Action Comics #1 (March 1938).

Well,Superman first came out in 1938.When it is the year 2033 it will be 95 years,and it will be 2008 with 70 years.DC`s fight will begin then.

We cant talk about Spider-Man,X-Men,Fantastic Four,Avengers or Thor because Stan Lee is still alive.

Based on the dates the authors died, the fight over Superman will not begin until 2066.
