For the price, you cannot beat the DC Archive collections. These reprints are on high quality paper and the artwork is fantastically reproduced. It is obvious that DC placed quite a bit of time and effort into each and every book. You simply cannot find these comics elsewhere without spending much much more than you will for this single volume. I think that once you buy one of these, you will want them all.

Continuing from where Superman Archives Volume 1 left off, Volume 2 reprints Superman (first series) issues #5 thru #8 from the early 1940s. Again, I loved these Golden Age classics!!! These show why Superman became an instant hit with readers at the time. Very entertaining stories with action and suspense. Just pure gems to read!
Great writing and art by Superman's creators, Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster. They were visionaries of their time, creating one of the most well known fictional characters ... Read More

This is a great book, showcasing what made the man of steel as a popular icon. Superman's tough, take no prisoners approach to crime-fighting in the early days beats the grittiest Batman today. Great reading!
