But there’s also how much of a thing you engage with. Superman first appeared in comic books on April 18, 1938. Superman with Christopher Reeve came out on December 15, 1978. By the time the film came out there had been at least 487 appearances of Superman in the comics, assuming one appearance per month for that 40 year gap. But it was way, way more than that. A kid knows nothing of Superman and sees the movie on opening day then becomes obsessed so goes out and rounds up as many comics as they can. While the movie may be their first, it won’t take long for the deluge of comics to eclipse that.</blockquote>
