Superman portrayed as Christ

To Future Students:

I did my research paper on Superman and how he relates to the Christ thoughtout the film. I did not find A lot of information but I did find a lot of information about the begginning of comics and how Superman played a HUGE role in that. If your interested in Superman specifically, I would reccommend looking into the beginning of Superman and how he was created and how he shaped the comic bok industry. Professor Hicks is an amazing professor and truely the only professor at CSULA who I felt like was there anytime to answer questions I had.
