From A to Z, here is the comprehensive source book containing eveything you ever wanted to know about Superman. The complete details of Superman's origins, biographies of every character, synopses of every Superman story, pictures of Superman and his friends Lois Lane, Perry White, and Jimmy Olsen AND his enemies, The Toyman, The Prankster, Brainiac, and the archcriminal Lex Luthor...are a few of the features included in this Superman encyclopedia.
Michael Fleisher, the world's greatest authority on Superman, drew on 2,000 pages of notes, a 20,000-card index file, and a complete reference set containing every Superman comic book adventure to write this monumental book.

Invaluable Tome,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great Superman Book (The Complete Encyclopedia of Comic Book Heroes; Vol. 3) (Hardcover)
This book is an invaluable tome of cross-referenced historical information covering every aspect of Superman's origin, his history, countless other characters in the mythos (including his friends, enemies, and lovers), and the mythology of Krypton. It is a labor of love and deserves to be in print.

Terrific, if out of date,
By
This review is from: The Great Superman Book (The Complete Encyclopedia of Comic Book Heroes; Vol. 3) (Hardcover)
This book is essentially a complete encyclopedia of Superman's adventures up through the mid-1960s. The Superman section alone is worth the price of purchase, never mind the other 400 or so pages.
Of course, it has little or no relevance to today's Superman and the characters with the same name, but if you have a fondness for the Golden and Silver Age versions of the character, get this book. I'm glad I did.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Obsessive Compendium of the Original Supes,
By
This review is from: The Great Superman Book: The Complete Encyclopedia of the Folk Hero of America (Vol. 3) (Paperback)
An almost scholarly tome that I found myself reading sections from randomly when the mood strikes - this is surely a must for the fervent Superman fan and an interesting read for general comics aficionados.
