Superman was created in 1938 by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. This title deconstructs the most famous superhero that ever donned a cape and lied about his identity, delving into his history, his multiple incarnations and the array of things he has signified in his career.
Leading writers discuss, debate, and celebrate the legend of Superman in this anthology, contending that his legend is a truly American myth. Superman was an immigrant with little more than the clothes on his back and raised by simple farmers, absorbing their humble values. He always chose to do the right thing, fighting for truth, justice, and the American way, and represents America at its best. The in-depth analyses of the comics, films and cartoons are at turns funny, philosophical, insightful, and personal, exploring every aspect of the Superman legend.
