Siegel wrote "The Reign of the Superman" in 1932. With their work rejected by publishers, 18-year-old Shuster produced the duo's own typed, mimeographed science fiction fanzine titled Science Fiction: The Advance Guard of Future Civilization, producing five issues. High school friends Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster tried selling stories to magazines in order to escape Depression-era poverty. (Although the name is hyphenated between syllables due to it being broken between pages on the story's opening spread, it is spelled Superman in the magazine's table of contents and in the story's text.)

It was the writer/artist duo's first published use of the name Superman, which they later applied to their archetypal fictional superhero. " The Reign of the Superman" (January 1933) is a short story written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Joe Shuster. Opening pages in the fanzine Science Fiction: The Advance Guard of Future Civilization #3.
