The Story of Superman (Celebrating 85 Years of Superman) is a tribute magazine from a360media Publishing.
Author Glenn Greenberg gives a grand overview of Kal-El/Clark Kent, from his fledgling DC/Action Comics days, thanks to creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, to his flights of fancy in other venues.
The latter includes Superman's rating-grabbing radio show; animated shorts; Kirk Alyn movie serials; George Reeves' Superman and the Mole Men and popular Adventures of Superman television series; the big-budgeted Christopher Reeve chapters; Superman Returns; the incarnations of Superboy; Lois & Clark; Man of Steel; Batman v Superman; battles, team-ups, crossovers, friends, foes, deaths, resurrections, marriage, Krypton, Smallville, Metropolis and onward.
The various and diverse artists, writers and filmmakers who brought Superman to life (beyond the parental Siegel and Shuster) over the many decades (and often in a behind-the-scenes but no less influential capacity) are also covered: Neal Adams, Marv Wolfman, Elliot S! Maggin, Bud Collyer, Mike Carlin, Jim Shooter, Ilya Salkind, Richard Donner, Richard Lester, Sydney J. Furie, Bryan Singer, Zack Snyder, et al.
The Story of Superman also sports high-resolution, black-and-white and color photographs of comic covers, lobby cards, movie posters and actor imagery, which are certain to please Kal-El's impassioned followers.
This 98-page extravaganza can be found at Barnes & Noble and most other book stores, supermarkets and comic shops throughout the nation, with availability only up to June 12. Purchase a copy to celebrate this superheroic, founding father, the one and only Superman!
