More of the Good Stuff,
By
This review is from: Superman The Action Comics Archives, Vol. 2 (DC Archive Editions) (Hardcover)
Siegel and Shuster continued the hits and growth with Superman thorugh the early 1940s. In fact, Superman was such a hit that Shuster brought in some help with the art, including the brilliant Jack Burnley, among others.
Shuster also pulled back on the political aspects of the series. Superman was still an activist, helping out widows and orphans, but he was also developing quite the rogues gallery. Most important of these, introduced in Action Comics #23, is Luthor. Unlike the Lex Luthor we know and love, the original Luthor, while a brilliant criminal mind, was pretty physical. He also wore a shock of red hair. Superman battled other science fiction based villains, including Zoltar, who wielded radium weapons. As the war in Europe escalated, Superman faced new foes in the form of fifth columnists and spies. Nothing like more of the good stuff from the golden age.

Superman: The Action Comics Archives vol. 2 is a classic!!!,
By B. Mah "Bill" (Edmonton, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Superman The Action Comics Archives, Vol. 2 (DC Archive Editions) (Hardcover)
Superman: The Action Comics Archives vol. 2 reprints the Superman stories from Action Comics #21 thru #36, classic stories from the early days of comic books' Golden Age. DC Comics continues their presentation of early comic book stories with their award-winning Archive Editions series.Again, this is not the Superman of today. He truly was the Man of Tomorrow, with thrilling adventures of the early 1940s. Fun, simple stories from a different time. To all Superman fans, and/or fans of early Golden Age comic book classics, get this book!!!
