November 19, 1940
NEW YORK TIMES, Nov. 19, 1940  Page 30 has one column headings: " SUPERMAN TO STRUT OVER MACY PARADE" "Genie Emerging From Arabian Nights Bottle Also to Be Seen in Event Thursday" See photos for the report of one of the earliest mentions of this famed superhero.
This was to be the debut of Superman and to this day is still considered the largest balloon ever to be part of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Likely only reported in a New York publication.
Complete in 48 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint for institutional holdings. Very nice condition.
