Overview[]

The character of Perry White was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Wayne Boring. The Post-Crisis iteration of Perry White was created by writer/artist John Byrne. Writer Mark Waid provided additional updates to the character.

There are two famous quotes commonly attributed to the character of Perry White: "Great Caesar's Ghost!" and "Don't call me Chief!".

Superman and his supporting cast had their origins rewritten in the Man of Steel series written by John Byrne, following the Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985-1986. This was part of many sweeping changes made to continuity in the Post-Crisis DC Universe. These stories would be considered the definitive history until his origins were revised again in Superman: Birthright, written by Mark Waid in 2003.

The DC Universe heavily changed its continuity into the DCnU following the events of Flashpoint in 2011. This was part of an effort to make storylines more accessible to newer readers, beginning with the New 52. This new timeline combined elements from the DCU, Vertigo Universe and Wildstorm Universe while drastically changing the origins and histories of characters.
