Summary: Superhero Archaeology
Comment: This is interesting as a survey of early Superman stories. It should really be called SM in the 30s & 40s. Facinating to see how much has been re-invented since the early stories.

Summary: Superman in the Forties
Comment: If you are a fan of Superman, this is a must have in my opinion. This is the start of Superman and you can see how his powers have evolved. You will see the first story with Lex Luthor and he had a full head of hair.

Summary: A Classic Collection of the Classic Version of Superman
Comment: From Superman's very first appearance in Action Comics #1, this book takes you on a tour through the development of the legend that he came to be. On the way you get to see Superman championing the little guy by fighting off greedy capitalists, crazed mad scientists and Nazi saboteurs. You also see how Clark Kent avoided the draft. (You, see there was this eye exam....). The super villains are all there too: Toyman, Luthor, the Ultra Humanite, Mxyztplk, Susie Tompkins. (Susie Tompkins?!) Superman visits his home planet Krypton, runs into Kryptonite for the first time, fends off the advances of Lois Lane and meets the original Supergirl. The book also sports an enticing introduction that puts the Legend of Superman in its social context.
(By the way, this book has nothing to do with the "Hardcover Edition" listed on Amazon's webpage. That's a completely different collection of stories entirely.)
