Copyrights don't last forever, and when they expire they go into the public domain. So when does Superman—the original comic book superhero—enter the public domain where he'll be free for anyone to use? Well, would you believe that the Man of Steel already WAS in the public domain thanks to a legal technicality way back in the 1940s?!
Every Wednesday, Comic Misconceptions explores the incredible stories, fascinating ideas, and mind-blowing theories regarding comic books and the rich history and culture that surrounds them!
