Description

New HC – Retail 49.95 – Superman Archives 3 (Superman 9-12; w Jerry Siegel; a Joe Shuster). [From DC Comics: The time is 1941, and as the world is engulfed in its second global war, the events that are shaping the era are beginning to have their effect on The Man of Steel and his adopted home of Metropolis. In this, the third volume of The Superman Archives, stories of bank robbers and mad scientists are beginning to make way for sagas involving spies and sabotage. Whereas America’s direct involvement in World War II would be several months away, the stories in Superman 9 thourgh 12 give us a unique impression of what it was like to be living on the brink of catastrophe. During this period, the Superman cast of characters is beginning to take its place in what is to become an enduring legend: Lois Lane and police Sergeant Casey have been joined by Daily Planet editor Perry White (Jimmy Olsen’s presence is nearly a year away) – and, for the first time in Superman’s history, his archnemesis Luthor takes on the bald, granite-like presence with which he will be associated forevermore.]
