SUPERMAN ARCHIVES HC VOL 02

Description

New HC (39.99) – Superman Archives 2 (Superman 5-8; w Jerry Siegel; a Joe Shuster). [From DC Comics: When these comic books (Superman 5-8) first hit the stands, the imagination of writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster had captured the hearts of all America. The fantastic exploits of the Man of Steel brought pleasure to a nation of children and adults alike. This Superman may bring a smile to your face. In his pre-World War Two stage there were no super-villains, no alien beings, no megalomaniacs. He fought a more common criminal, which appealed just fine to his early 1940s audience. The character was still a literal tabula rasa upon which an entire mythos would be built. DC Comics continues its tribute to this icon and to its creators. To make these volumes worthy to be on your comics library shelf, many long hours of meticulous work went into replicating the covers and the interiors just as they originally appeared, only enhancing for clarity. You could never find these original comics in this readable and durable a condition – certainly not for such a reasonable price. You may not remember these stories from when they first came out, but in the years ahead you can smile with Jerome Siegel and Joe Shuster’s Superman again and again.]
