Superman in the Forties

    (DC, 2005)
™ and © DC Comics, Inc.

From the Publisher:

A time for change. The Depression still gripped America as the decade began. But hope was offered to the masses by a new breed of hero. The man could withstand bullets, leap over tall buildings and bend steel in his bare hands. Fighting for the oppressed, this man of steel captured the imagination of young and old alike.

This volume traces the roots of the world’s fascination with Superman from his debut in Action Comics #1 through the decade, as his powers developed and his place in society changed. You will meet his friends Lois Lane and Perry White, plus his earliest foes—the Ultra Humanite, J. Wilbur Wolfingham and the Toyman among others.

Written and drawn by a team of talents led by creators Jerry Siguel and Hoe Shuster, this book features work by Bill Finger, Willian Woolfolk, Don Cameron, Wayne Boring, Al Pastino and several others who helped shape the Man of Tomorrow.
