Oh yea, this is from my personal research. I went through 4 or 5 online historic newspapers, searching for the key term "Superman". It brought back some 19,000 items, 1938-1966. Mostly I was looking for articles related to the Superman daily newspaper strip (of which I found a handful), or other chapters that I am working on for my book - such as reactions to violence in the Superman comics/radio/strips (a lot of articles) or lawsuits revolving around the newspaper strips (this didn't make the paper). So I saved the interesting Superman files, but don't really have a use for them. (And this is just a limited newspaper search, it doesn't include my research into magazines or what I have from microfilm).
But yeah, together they build a nice picture of the influence of Superman in our culture.

More hurt kids. From February 11, 1957:
From November 8, 1958. I guess those capes in the advertisements are not flame proof....perhaps he should have sued them instead...
I am not sure if this counts. The *teenager* was obviously off his meds...

The 1940 World's Fair. Here's the morning Superman schedule from June 3, 1940:
And the following day's results of the Superboy/girl competition. I wonder where these people are now, and whatever happened to their trophies (can't quite see if that's Superman on the top...)
