Klein: Look, up in the top of the cover!

Todd Klein’s at it again, looking at the Superman and Action Comics logos:

[I]n 1979 or 1980, after the “DC Implosion,” when my work in DC Comics’ production department was slow, and I was looking around for things to keep me busy, I decided to clean out the massive wall of file cabinets at the back of the room, several drawers of which were full of old logos. Going through them, I found a very old Superman original logo (ink on paper), not much larger than printed size. The art paper it was on was heavily tanned from age, darker than any of the other logos. I showed it to Paul Levitz, who happened to be there at the time, and he said something like, “How about that — Ira Schnapp’s original Superman logo! I didn’t think that was still around.”
