Superman: The Man of Steel (Compilations)

    (DC, 1991, 2003-2006, 2012)
™ and © 1987 DC Comics, Inc.

In 1986, writer/artist John Byrne (Blood of the Demon) gave DC’s flagship character a makeover with the six-issue limited series The Man of Steel, which retold and streamlined Superman’s somewhat cumbersome history and established a new status quo. After that, DC relaunched the ongoing Superman title with a new no. 1, redubbed the original series The Adventures of Superman with no. 424, and turned Action Comics into a Superman team-up title.

This trade paperback series collects the adventures of the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths Man of Steel in chronological order, allowing the Smallville generation to discover the stories that gave us a sterile, cold Krypton, resurrected the Kents, Superman’s adoptive parents, and made Lois Lane even sassier and more capable than ever before. The tales are modern-day comic book classics that deserve this special treatment.
