On September 10, 2013, Canada Post issued a series of postage stamps and postcards to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Superman. Six different stamp designs reproduce cover illustrations from the Superman comic books from 1939–2012.

Coil stamps and Day of Issue envelopes reprint the Special Collector's Edition cover of Man of Steel #1 (October 1986), illustrated by John Byrne. The back of the coil stamp roll contains Kryptonian message translated from English and French that reads: "The 'S' shield is more than Superman’s family crest. It’s a Kryptonian symbol that means 'hope'."

Ten commemorative stamps (two of each design) are available in five different booklet covers. Six million ten-stamp booklets were produced. Five-stamp souvenir sheets are limited to 250,000 copies. Uncut press sheets are limited to 7,500. The stamp images and booklet covers appear on sets of five postage-paid postcards.

The Superman 75th Anniversary collection was designed by Kosta Tsetsekas and Jasper Murphy of Signals Design in Vancouver. The stamps were printed by Lowe-Martin in Ottawa. The collection was showcased in the September 2013 issue of Details magazine from Canada Post.

Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, debuting in Action Comics #1 (June 1938). Joe Shuster was born in Toronto on July 10, 1914. At age nine, Joe hawked newspapers for the Toronto Daily Star while attending Ryerson Public School. Clark Kent and Lois Lane originally worked as reporters for the Daily Star in Metropolis. The Daily Star was renamed Daily Planet in the Superman newspaper strip on November 13, 1939.

Heritage Minutes were first released by Historica Canada in 1991. The series is comprised of one-minute short films depicting people and events in Canadian history. The Superman feature portrays a fictional Joe Shuster and Lois. Joe is boarding a train to visit his cousin Frank Shuster, a member of the popular comedic duo Wayne and Shuster. Joe Shuster was played by Adam Greydon Reid. Lois was played by Catherine Colvey. The Heritage Minutes film erroneously places the creation of Superman in 1931. Jerry Siegel is completely omitted.

The Joe Shuster Canadian Comic Book Creator Awards (Joe Shuster Awards) are administered by The Canadian Comic Book Creator Awards Association. The Joe Shuster Awards have been presented to Canadian industry figures since April 2005.

Joe Shuster Way is a residential street in Toronto built in 2006. The street was designed and named by Urbancorp. The shape of Joe Shuster Way and the connecting streets resembles the pentagonal Superman 'S' emblem.

In October 1995, Canada Post issued a Superman stamp as part of the Superheroes collection. The series honors Canadian creators in the comic book industry. The Superman 85th Anniversary series of commemorative stamps was issued by Australia Post on June 13, 2023.
