    May 21, 2013: Cartoon Art Museum Celebrates Superman's 75th AnniversaryPrint

    Action Comics #1 The Cartoon Art Museum is celebrating the 75th anniversary of Superman with an exhibition exploring the long and storied history of The Last Son of Krypton, from his earliest incarnation when he launched the Golden Age of comics through his bizarre adventures in the Silver Age of comics to the modern era, where he continues his never-ending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

    The Cartoon Art Museum explores the rich history of Siegel and Shuster's creation through original artwork by such notable talents as Golden Age Superman artists Fred Ray, Wayne Boring; Curt Swan, often cited as the character's definitive artist; the legendary Neal Adams; John Byrne and Jerry Ordway, who revitalized Superman in the 1980s; the artists responsible for the widely-publicized "Death of Superman" storyline in the early 1990s, Jon Bogdanove, Jackson Guice, Dan Jurgens, and many others. Vintage movie posters, toys, and props will also be included in this historic display.

    Programming for this exhibition (to take place at the Cartoon Art Museum at 655 Mission Street, San Francisco) will be announced throughout the summer.

    Watch the Cartoon Art Museum website for further details. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

    May 20, 2013: "Smallville" Lawsuit Settles Out of CourtPrint

    Smallville Deadline reports that the legal battle between the creators of the "Smallville" TV Series and Warner Bros. has settled out of court.

      Warner Bros Television and the creators of Smallville are not taking their multimillion-dollar legal battle to a jury after all. Lawyers for WBTV and co-creators/writers Miles Millar and Alfred Gough announced in a hearing today that they have reached a settlement in their breach of contract and conflict of interest dispute. No details of the settlement were made public. LA Superior Court Judge Michael Johnson told the parties today that they now have until August 30 to file a formal request for dismissal.

    You'll recall that Tollin/Robbins along with Gough and Millar were suing WBTV for $100 million, claiming that the company had done a "sweetheart" deal with parent company Warner Bros., low-balling licensing deals.

    You can read the complete report at Deadline.com.
