Superman: The Coming of Superman

If you never read these first adventures of Superman you are in for a treat. Now these stories are set before he started to fly, there was no kryptonite, no super villains like brainiac, doomsday, darkseid . No mostly just mobsters, corrupt politicians, war criminals. But still fun and wholesome. A great time for anyone.

Can in perfect condition…amazing that it was all color pages as stated in description…. Excited to read Superman number one on

This was my first exposure to the Golden Age version of Superman. Most of my DC reading has been focused on the era from the late 1980s through the early 2000s. I grew up watching Super Friends on Saturday mornings and have avoided all of the Golden Age stuff because I assumed it would be antiquated, boring and so outdated that it wouldn't hold my interest. I was woefully mistaken.When Superman is first introduced in Action Comics #1, he is not a dull, overpowered boy scout. But instead a well meaning, loose cannon that seeks to administer his brand of justce by any means necessary. His power set is limited and he outright breaks the law several times as a resolution to a moral ending. These stories may be from the late 1930's, but they are extremely entertaining. The art is a bit crude and archaic, but it maintains a certain charm. Simply put, these stories were a lot of fun to read.I finished reading the entire volume in a few days and have begun ordering omnibus editions of Golden Age Superman to continue my reading. Something I was not expecting to happen.If like me you have skipped out on Golden Age era DC stuff because you thought it would suck, do yourself a favor and try out this collection. I was genuinely surprised at how much I enjoyed this trade. I look forward to more of these DC Finest editions to further broaden my horizons.

A great anthology book.

It's in great condition!

Love this new edition to the collection. DC Finest and DC Compact Comics, are great ways to gather amazing stories that have existed for a long time. Book is great, and arrived in amazing condition.

It's perfect.I love the golden age stories!!Long live the Man of Steel 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

The print is too close to the binding, so I had to be careful trying to read the inner panel. Unless I wanted to flatten the book to read it, but then that's sort of ruining the book and would make permanent creases.Also some speech bubbles had multiple sentences printed on top of each other! Where is the quality control?I returned it, since it just wasn't convenient to read. I also returned other "DC Finest" books, and was not impressed with the quality.
