Did you know that in the Arabic version of Superman comic books he was not an American? Or that in Italy, for a while he was called the Nembo Kid? The appearance of DC comics abroad is a major topic in my new book, "The Man Who Sold Superman to the World?" In the Amazon.com search space type in the book's name for more info.

I dd not know that. It makes sense, though, with Superman being a symbol of freedom/liberty.
