Customer Reviews

Its a Steal

This Man of Steel book is a steal! For around ten dollars, what you get is, a large format, hardbound, rock solid edition, in full color, on great quality paper, of the first years of this awesome comic strip. Each page contains one Sunday strip, for back to back entertainment, that seems to go on and on. Wonderful. I do have a thought on the glossy papers, though its not a dampener. I would think those acid-free non-reflecting crisp sheets of paper would bring out the vivid black pen-brush work as well as those colors better.

Colorful Coffee Table Book

This handsome, colorful coffee table book at an affordable price is a fun gift for both the casual pop culture observer and the die-hard comics fan. All of Superman's early newspaper adventures are beautifully reproduced here for nostalgic enjoyment. Never has the Man of Steel look more square-jawed and heroic...and never was there a damsel in more constant distress than Lois Lane! Supes' arch nemesis, Lex Luthor, even makes an early appearance. It's especially interesting to see the effect that WWII had on Superman's adventures. Definitely a great addition to anyone's library. Up, up and away!

Super Sunday
