First Record Cover Art, 1939
Before this cover by Alex Steinweiss, most records came in a plain, brown, paper sleeve with a hole in the middle showing who the artist and song was. Steinweiss had a better idea. He took a cameraman to the city’s famous Imperial Theatre, where he convinced the owner to briefly change the signage of the marquee, and made history.

See Superman In Color, 1939
Beginning next Sunday, the amazing exploits of SUPERMAN will be featured in color in the Adventure Section of the Sunday Post-Dispatch.
This super-hero flies faster than an airplane… he can outswim a speed boat and leap over sky-scrapers. He smashes steel like putty and runs faster than a speeding express train. Enlisted on the side of justice, he crusades constantly against the forces of evil.
