The year 2014 marked the 100th birthdays of the two men who brought Superman to life and the man who brought Superman into our homes. A group of fans gathered in Los Angeles to celebrate these three great men: Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, and George Reeves. Bob Holiday, who had long looked up to all three of these men, sent his greetings. And fans got to meet another well-respected member of the 1950's cast: Jack Larson, the first Jimmy Olsen.

We all know that "It's a Bird It's a Plane It's Superman©" was staged on Broadway in 1966. But only the most die-hard fans of the show know that an adaptation was aired on ABC-TV in 1975. Forty years later, in 2016, Joe Stuber of ComicBookCentral.net brought together the Superman (David Wilson) and Lois Lane (Lesley Ann Warren) for an impressive interview. We've distilled the full interview into some interesting topics. Joe also read a message sent by Bob Holiday. You don't want to miss it!

After appearing at the Metropolis, IL 2003 Superman Celebration, Bob Holiday re-entered the consciousness of the Superman universe. A number of interviews, both telephone and written, were conducted. We hope you enjoy reading Bob's direct answers to authors over the years.
