Product Description:
First introduced in a 1938 comic book, Superman has since become an iconic character in American entertainment. This complete history covers Superman's appearances in film and television, from the 1941 introduction of the first Superman cartoon to the 2006 live-action film Superman Returns. The book includes several rarely seen photographs of the actors who have brought Superman to life for over seven decades, including Clayton "Bud" Collyer, Kirk Alyn, George Reeves and Christopher Reeve. Multiple appendices provide a complete listing of Superman-related books and websites, along with a comprehensive list of the cast and characters featured in Superman films, television shows, and radio programs since 1941.

Superman is something that I grew up with and can't imagine not havng around. This book provides a comprehensive telling of the superman legend and how it came to be. Superman and his various creators/portrayers showed that through hard work and perseverance the american dream can come true. Sometimes with a price.
If you are a fan of Superman then this is the book for you.

The book itself is 240 pages long (of that about 50 pages at the end are appendices, chapter notes, a bibliography ... Read More

Although to some observers the cultural phenomenon known as Superman, now just a year shy of his 70th birthday, is a static thing, a blue, red and yellow trademark that seems to have always been with us in his present form, the truth is that the Man from Krypton has not only undergone a myriad of changes since his comic book debut in 1938, but has, in one form or another, made the rounds of just about every medium of entertainment available. Only a scant two years after his premiere on the printed page, Superman ... Read More
