Superman in the Seventies

In this collection of Superman tales from the ’70s, the Man of Steel finds himself facing more realistic challenges and issues that are representative of the era. Although he fought against some of his greatest enemies such as Lex Luthor, Brainiac, and the Parasite Superman also began to address societal issues and philosophical questions in these stories. Originally published in 2000, this collection includes work by comics legends Jack Kirby, Dennis O’Neil, Elliot S! Maggin, Neal Adams, Curt Swan, Jos Luis Garca-Lpez and more, with an introduction by Superman film star Christopher Reeve. In these tales of social conscience, Superman loses his vulnerability to Kryptonite and questions his role as Earth’s protector, and the Man of Steel also revisits Smallville and looks back at his boyhood with older and wiser eyes. This volume collects Superman #233, 247, 248, 249, 270, 271, 276, 286, 287, Action Comics #484, DC Comics Presents #14, Supermans Pal, Jimmy Olsen #133, and Supermans Girl Friend, Lois Lane #106.
