Superman Chronicles

Edition excerpt from The Superman Chronicles Vol. 1 (2006): For over sixty years he has been one of the most recognizable American icons. An instant hit from his first appearance, Superman’s popularity has grown through the decades — and today he is known worldwide as the defender of Truth, Justice and the American Way.But his earliest stories reveal a Superman who took no prisoners, made his own laws and gleefully delivered his own brand of justice — even if it meant dangling a crook by the ankle from above the city, or giving a wife-beater a taste of his own medicine. This was a Superman who embodied pure wish fulfillment, with his early adventures showing a raw super-hero in the making — and the development of an enduring classic!DC Comics is proud to present this definitive and affordable collection of Superman’s first stories. Assembled here are his earliest adventures from ACTION COMICS #1-13, NEW YORK WORLD’S FAIR COMICS #1 and SUPERMAN #1 — including all covers.For fans of The Man of Steel, both old and new — or of popular culture in general — THE SUPERMAN CHRONICLES is an indispensable addition to any library!
