*Modern Reprints: From DC’s Archives Series, the handsome full-colour hardcover volumes reprinting, in sequence, the earliest adventures of the Man of Steel, beginning with his debut from 1938’s Action Comics #1! Created by Jerry Siegel and Jerome Shuster, Superman was turned down by several syndicates as a proposed newspaper comic strip, before the then-new publisher National/DC took a chance on the neophyte creators – and the entire superhero genre was born! Now out of print, Volumes 1 and 2 are NM at £30 each; the slightly rarer Vols 3 & 4 NM at £35 each.
