SDCC '18: Action Comics recognized as longest running superhero series by Guinness Book of World Records


Superman celebrates his 80th year of existence this year since he first appeared in the pages of "Action Comics #1" in 1938, and that iconic start presented by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster is recognized with a great honor presented to DC Comics co-publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee - who received from the Guinness World Records at the San Diego Comic Con the award for "longest running superhero series" of 80 years (As featured in the Superman Facebook page)



That is an impressive feat and a timely award for the Man Of Steel - who just got a new lease of comic life with a new "Superman" ongoing series by Brian Michael Bendis and Ivan Reis. Bendis is also writing "Action Comics" beginnining with issue #1001 coming next week.

Congratulations and Happy 80 years, Superman!
