by Jerry Siegel (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Since the day he first flew over Metropolis, the Man of Steel has been a hero of mythological proportions. Whether saving the world or defending America, the Last Son of Krypton has proven that the true measure of a man is his actions and not his abilities. SUPERMAN: THE ACTION COMICS ARCHIVES VOL. 3 presents the original adventures that are now the foundation of Superman's legendary status. Influenced by the Max Fleischer animated Superman cartoons of the 1940s, this stunning book showcases the Man of Steel as he takes on the villainy of Domino, the genius of the Trickster, the dementia of the Puzzler, and the deadliness of the super-powered Lex Luthor and his incredible Powerstone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful for us poor folk, November 10, 2003

By	B. Gale (Davis, CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is absolutly the best way to get the old comics from the 40's! They are here in color and on beautiful pages that make the comics come to life. They are meant for kids of the 40's and seem kind of hokey by todays standards, but these are the classics! I love each and every one that DC Comics puts out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Collection, November 21, 2002

Some great old superman stories. By this time supes was starting to square off against super-villains a bit more often. Action #42 was probably my favorite, and has an interesting plot twist.
