DC FINEST SUPERMAN The First Superhero

This is a must-have collection. First 25 Superman stories in Action Comics plus Superman #1-5 and World's Fair #1. Holy smokes, this is ground-breaking great early comics at little more than $1 per issue! These are great stories, when Superman still had limitations, when police were still unsure about him, where he'd occasionally let criminals die (he drops a carload of them into the Hudson River, for example). He meets Lois, Luthor (Action #23), Jimmy Olsen (#6), The Daily Planet is first mentioned... Welcome to DC Finest, a major new publishing initiative presenting comprehensive but bargain-priced collections of the most celebrated periods in DC Comics history.What better place to start than with the hero who started it all: Superman!

There are some wonderful classics by artists Leo O'Mealia and Fred Guardineer featuring Zatara the Magician and other early action heroes, before DC realized that Superman covers sold more than any other issue! Includes every Superman story from Superman Comics #1-5.
