Summary: Superman: The Sunday Classics is a gem!
Comment: Superman: The Sunday Classics, 1939-1943 reprints the newspaper weekend Sunday colored strip stories of Superman. Superman, created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, was originally meant for the syndicated strips that ran in the newspapers. As the Man of Steel had made his first appearance in comic books first in 1938, it was after becoming a huge success there that his creators would bring the hero to the newspaper strips immediately.
I loved these stories, found them to be quite exciting. The evolution of Superman was happening in these strips. He would later on start chanting his infamous "Up, up and away!" phrase. From fighting crooked criminals, giant robots, Nazis, to even the elements of World War II, this book shows just how Superman was still there fighting against injustice. I was quite pleased with the quality reproduction that was taken to restore these strips. It really looks fabulous, and tips off to the publishers of this book, DC Comics and Kitchen Sink Press on a job well done in restoring these long time gems once again for old and new readers to read once more. A worthy addition to anyone's library.

Summary: The Evolution of Superman
Comment: Siegel and Shuster conceived Superman as a newspaper strip. This is where they wanted to be. And it shows. Comics may be for kids but the adults also read the weekend comic section. It's readable. It shows America concerns before their entry into WW2. It shows the propaganda of the day as America started to fight in WW2. This book shows us Superman at the beginning. He's jumping not flying. The art is crude. As you continue to read this volume Superman begins to fly, really does say 'up, up and away', and changes in telephone booths and slowly becomes the Superman of popular culture today. The art also improves as you read the book. The reproduction of the Sunday pages is superb with crisp, clean colors. This book is a gem. Superman as he was. Superman as we know him today. A worthy addition to your library.
