Paul Henry Cassidy was the first ghost artist on the 'Superman' comic. The addition of a daily version increased the workload for Joe Shuster, so he assigned Cassidy to do the inking and the detail work in the late 1930s. Cassidy added a bolder, darker and more fluid line to Shuster's style. After a while, Cassidy got to do entire stories by himself. Notable about Cassidy's 'Superman' was the addition of the 'S' symbol on the cape.
Paul Cassidy passed away on 15 May 2005 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the age of 94.
