BangZoom Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 They certainly are getting paid a premium for the Superman pages. Siegel is receiving $4 per page for the Spectre stories, $5 per page for the Star Spangled Kid stories, and $35 per page for the Superman stories. The $35 per page, adjusted for inflation, is $486.19 per page in 2006 dollars. That's $6,320.47, in today's money, for a 13 page story. I remember my father telling me he earned about $25 per week back in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my father telling me he earned about $25 per week back in those days. Is that $35 per page total for writing and drawing it? Still a lot for those days (Creig Flessel got $5 for a six-panel interior page and $10 for a cover), but not as much as it sounds like if it were only going to one person.

ajaxfarrell Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Any chance you might have a copy of CATMAN # 20 ? I've never seen a decent copy of that issue. I still can't get over that All-American 16 from the first couple pages of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
