I got into Superman after getting into Smallville. It's very enjoyable to get back to the origins of this impressive legacy. I can't wait to see the evolution of Superman personally and in his powers. I will collect all of these chronicles as long as they publish them, and hopefully they will publish them all the way through.
Good kick back reading

It's nice to read Superman's early stories. This is the way, he is supposed to be. Excellent kick back reading.
Vintage Superman

This is a collection of the earliest Superman comics, they are in color and affordable. I would consider these a must own for any Superman fan. Overall production value, although not flashy, is excellent and the stories are classics. This is where it all started.
I hope DC comics sees this series through to the end

I've been looking for several years for a way to go back and read the original Superman comics without necessarily becoming a comic book collector. The goal of this series is to reprint every single Superman comic book story from 1938 to the present. I don't know when Volume 2 will come out, but I intent to collect all of them! I just hope that sales are sufficient for DC Comics to keep publishing these. In terms of the content of the book, as other reviewers have already pointed out, Superman is quite different from the one we know today, both in terms of his powers and his sense of ethics. All of this adds to the sense that you're reading a bit of American cultural history.
