Customer Reviews

Everything you ever wanted to know about Superman, and more.

This book is extremely informative for anyone interested in the history of Superman. Dennis Dooley has done extensive research into the background of the two creators, who were born and raised in a Cleveland suburb. Along with the in depth story behind the legend, Dooley also has included various essays by professionals in all walks of life. Some are very introspective, where as others are just fun (though answered seriously) ie what sign is Superman. All in all it makes for an informative and enjoyable read as we learn there is more to the legend of Superman than just some red and blue tights. He it truly a part of our American, and worldwide culture, and should be recopgnized as such.
