Superman Archives

    (DC, 1989-1994, 2000, 2003)
™ and © DC Comics

With only a few dozen copies of the actual issues known to exist, reprints are about the only way to read the early adventures of Superman, from the 1930s. And few reprints are as nicely assembled as these, with bright colors on glossy paper in deluxe, hardbound editions. Thrill to the early adventures of the Last Son of Krypton, Superman, who disguises himself as mild-mannered newspaper reporter Clark Kent with little more than a simple pair of glasses. Will crack reporter Lois Lane figure it out? And is she falling for Superman?

These editions feature first appearances of some of Superman’s greatest villains and supporting characters, and feature text pages and ad reproductions from the original comics. They also feature the covers, both front and back, with the one-and-only Man of Steel leaping buildings, racing locomotives, and more. By Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, of course.
