Recognizing the narratives with comic language as a segment of modern journalism, also known as ninth art and which has great acceptance of the masses, this work aims to discuss and reflect the origins of Superman. Written and designed by two Jewish teenagers, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the visual text of the Man of Steel came to fill a United States need for a hero, a good example to help the American people overcome a period of many problems, such as violence, unemployment, hunger and suicides, for example. Based on a critical analysis of the discourse, based on Norman Fairclough's text, this paper focuses on the text of the journal, published in June 1938, and presents the first history of the Kryptonian, divided in sequences and static pictures, their importance to American morality, in addition to initiating a process of hegemonic domination that lasts until today. </p>}, number={2}, journal={Cadernos de Linguística}, author={Silva, Marcelo Travassos da and Acioli, Moab Duarte}, year={2020}, month={Oct.}, pages={01–16} }
