Don't miss your chance to hear directly from the man who spent a decade uncovering one of the greatest untold stories in American pop culture history. Brad Ricca, author of the acclaimed biography Super Boys, brings his electrifying research to life in this one-of-a-kind interactive lecture, taking audiences behind the cape and into the remarkable true story of how two Jewish teenagers from Cleveland accidentally changed the world forever. Through archival visuals, riveting storytelling, and a lively Q&A, Brad unpacks jaw-dropping discoveries, from the real woman who inspired Lois Lane, to the haunting mystery of Jerry Siegel's father's death, to the infamous moment Siegel and Shuster signed away the rights to the world's first superhero for a single check of $130. This is Superman's origin story, but not the one you think you know.
