Quote by Joe Shuster
Jerry reversed the usual formula of the superhero who goes to another planet. He put the superhero in ordinary, familiar surroundings, instead of the other way around, as was done in most science fiction. That was the first time I can recall that it had ever been done.
Summary
This quote highlights the innovative approach of Jerry, who challenged the conventional portrayal of superheroes in science fiction. Unlike the usual formula where the superhero is taken to another planet, Jerry opted to place the superhero in familiar, everyday settings. This reversal of the narrative was ground-breaking at the time, as it deviated from the norm and presented a fresh perspective in the genre. By subverting expectations, Jerry introduced a unique storytelling technique that had not been previously explored in science fiction.
