A home movie of the Superman balloon’s first appearance in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade from 1940 was uploaded to YouTube in November of last year, but I got word of it too late to post it in time for the holiday then. My thanks to Rodrigo Baeza, who blogs occasionally at Comics Commentary, for sharing the link on the Grand Comics Database chat list. [1:14]
[Update: The original link went bad and has been replaced with another to a far more interesting video, with footage shot by Jerry Siegel himself; I’ll write more about it in a new post.]
