Superman Celebration
Today kicks off the 32nd Annual Superman Celebration in Metropolis, Illinois. The event will run throughout the weekend and will feature such guests as Noel Neill (TV's second Lois Lane) and artist Carmine Infantino. Official site information can be found here.
The above image comes from Action Comics #594 (1987), wherein Metropolis celebrates the first post-Crisis on Infinite Earths Superman Day, including the unveiling of a Superman statue with arms akimbo. The "real world" Superman Celebration began in 1978, and the modern statue in the town square was installed in 1993. As of yet, no android duplicate of a rival hero has crashed the annual Illinois event hoping to destroy Superman with a chunk of Kryptonite. As of yet.
