Superman in the seventies

Wein, Len
A classic collected edition returns, just in time for the Man of Steel's biggest year yet! 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. 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. Originally published in 2000, this collection includes work by comics legends Jack Kirby, Dennis O'Neil, Elliot S! Maggin, Neal Adams, Curt Swan, Jose Luis Garcia-L pez, and more, and an introduction by Superman film star Christopher Reeve. This volume collects Superman #233, #247, #248, #249, #270, #271, #276, #286, #287, Action Comics #484, DC Comics Presents #14, Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #133, and Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #106.
