MILWAUKEE – (KRT) – Back when Clark Kent was reporting to the Daily Star – and even before there was a Daily Planet – a mild-mannered Milwaukee teacher became the first ghost artist to draw America’s superhero for comic books.

The teacher was Paul H. Cassidy, who graduated from the University of Wisconsin in Madison with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in fine arts.
