In Thing: Superman T-shirts
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Office daydreamers and Clark Kent types can now fulfil that Superman-quick-change-phone-booth fantasy. Simply don one of HMV's Superman T-shirts under your regular office garb, find a suitable outlet and proceed to strip off.
Alternatively, you can just wear the T-shirt and be yourself. Though you won't be unique. The 'S logo, unmistakeably connected to the do-gooder dude in trunks and tights, was a favourite T-shirt in the Seventies. And, now, as with almost everything else that was hip then, it has been rediscovered and recycled.
Since the T-shirts first hit the shelves two months ago, HMV have been selling 1,000 a month, mainly to Superman fanatics and young (those not alive when the first time these T-shirts were trendy) clubbers. Up, up and away and all that.
Superman T-shirts cost pounds 9.99 from HMV shops.
