you'll see 2 interesting characters, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, the creator/artist and writer of Super-man...the first comic book super-hero.
If I remember correctly, the frame runs Super-man, Bat-man and then Marvel started to come in with their characters.
So, to me, the 2 guys who appear in the background of most comics, is homage to the 2 men who began it all. Shuster is the darker-haired, side-burn sporting character, while Siegel is his ginger companion
