I imagine the reason DC archived Superman in multiple series has much to do with the initial popularity of the character with his multiple appearances, plus the fact that many of Superman's first stories in "Action Comics" were reprinted in his the first issues of his own solo title. Since I am largely up to date on the "Superman Archives" proper, which reprinted the solo series, going back and reading "The ... Read More
