===Newspaper strips===
{{See also|Superman (comic strip)}}
Beginning in January 1939, a ''Superman'' daily comic strip appeared in newspapers, syndicated through the [[McClure Syndicate]]. A color Sunday version was added that November. Jerry Siegel wrote most of the strips until he was [[conscription|conscripted]] into the [[United States Army]] in 1943. The Sunday strips had a narrative continuity separate from the daily strips, possibly because Siegel had to delegate the Sunday strips to [[ghostwriter]]s.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://www.tcj.com/reviews/superman-the-golden-age-sundays-1943-1946/ |title= Reviews: ''Superman: The Golden Age Sundays 1943–1946'' |first= Paul|last=Tumey |work=[[The Comics Journal]] |date=April 14, 2014 |access-date= March 1, 2016|archive-date=May 29, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140529211844/http://www.tcj.com/reviews/superman-the-golden-age-sundays-1943-1946/ |url-status=live |quote=...Jerry Siegel had his hands — and typewriter — full, turning out stories for the comic books and the daily newspaper strips (which had completely separate continuities from the Sundays).}}</ref> By 1941, the newspaper strips had an estimated readership of 20 million.<ref>{{harvp|Daniels|1998}}.
