Charles at 15

                                   Charles Atlas (Angelo Siciliano)

Atlas developed a bodybuilding method and associated exercise
program that was best known for its landmark advertising campaign
featuring Atlas’s name and likeness; it has been described as one of
the longest-lasting and most memorable ad campaigns of all time.

died of heart failure at age 80 after his daily jog on the beach.

The debut of Superman, 1938

LOS ANGELES (AP) – DC Comics will retain its rights to Superman after
a judge ruled Wednesday that the heirs of one of the superhero’s co-
creators signed away their ability to reclaim copyrights to the Man of
Steel roughly 20 years ago.

The ruling means that DC Comics and its owner Warner Bros. will retain
all rights to continue using the character in books, films, television and
other mediums, including a film reboot planned for next year.

In April, the $412 check that DC Comics wrote to acquire Superman and
other creative works by Shuster and Siegel sold for $160,000 in an online
auction.

Jack and Jill is a bimonthly magazine for children 7 to 10 years old featuring
short stories, articles, games, comics, and educational activities. It was first
launched by Curtis Publishing Company in 1938, making it one of the oldest magazines for kids.

Debuting in August 1952 (cover date October–November), Mad began as a comic book published by EC before it became a magazine.

The Aldrich Family TV Cast (1952-1953)

The Aldrich Family, a popular radio teenage situation comedy (1939-1953), debuted
on NBC-TV while continuing to air on the radio with a primarily different cast. Over the course of its nearly four-year run on television, Henry was portrayed by five different actors: Robert Casey, Richard Tyler, Henry Girard, Kenneth Nelson and Bobby Ellis,
the only one to participate in the radio production as well. Other characters, including Mrs. Aldrich, Henry’s sister Mary, and his best friend Homer Brown were portrayed by 
multiple actors as well, a practice not uncommon in radio but unusual for television, where cast changes are more noticeable.
