Superman Day at 1939 World's Fair

Clipped from www.supermansupersite.com: To go along with the theme of "The World of Tomorrow", DC Comics hosted Superman Day at the fair, featuring the first public appearance of "The Man of Tomorrow", Superman (Ray Middleton) in full costume and a live Superman radio broadcast from the fairgrounds. In this very first Superman costume, the name "SUPERMAN" is inscribed in the top part of Superman's chest emblem and Superman's boots are the original lace style. Superman Day was the brainchild of publicist Allen 'Duke' Ducovny, held in part to promote the sales of DC's New York World's Fair Comics, a 100-page special edition sold exclusively at the World's Fair.
