He ruined our lives, deliberately, though Joe and I originated Superman, which enriched Liebowitz and his associates.”Īt the time, Siegel was 61 years old, living in California and working as a clerk-typist, with a side hustle writing stories for Italian Disney comics. “Jack Liebowitz, a member of the Board of Directors of Warner Communications, stabbed Joe Shuster and me, Jerry Siegel, in the back. Siegel had just learned that somebody was making a multi-million dollar Superman movie, and it did not sit well with him, and he wanted people to know that. That’s the beginning of a ten-page typewritten manifesto penned in 1975 by Jerry Siegel, the co-creator of Superman. I hope the whole world, becoming aware of the stench that surrounds Superman, will avoid the movie like a plague. I hope loyal Superman fans stay away from it in droves. I, Jerry Siegel, the co-originator of Superman, put a curse on the Superman movie! I hope it super-bombs. Re: THE VICTIMIZATION OF SUPERMAN’S ORIGINATORS, JERRY SIEGEL AND JOE SHUSTER
