Synopsis

Thrill to the Early Adventures of the Man of Steel!

In the late thirties, when Superman was making his ground-breaking debut in comic books, his legend was simultaneously being propagated in Sunday newspapers.

Collected in this deluxe edition are the first three years of the classic Sunday Superman comic strips as written and illustrated by the Man of Steel's creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.

In these timeless tales, the Man of Steel challenges saboteurs and racketeers, saves runaway trains and plummeting planes, defeats giant robots and begins his lifelong rivalry with his greatest nemesis, Lex Luthor.

About this title

Review:

"Solid Golden-Age Superman stories. There are no story lines that are poor though a few seem more improbable than usual. The last five strip stories turn solidly towards World War II as Superman helps out fundraising in Hollywood and on various national defense projects, including helping a young man grow up to face the challenges of war time." -- Adam Graham

"This is a won­der­ful cof­fee table book with excel­lent inte­rior art. This is a large for­mat, hard­bound book in full color, printed on pres­tige for­mat paper. As one might imag­ine, the book is a blast to read. Care­fully read­ing and study­ing the panels, one could see how Siegel and Shus­ter pro­gressed as writer and artist, and their train of thought." -- Man of la Book.com
