Superman: The Ultimate Guide to The Man Of Steel

For over 60 years the world-famous Superman has used his powers to fight for truth, justice and fair play against the forces of evil and chaos. For this book, DK has been permitted access to the archives of DC Comics, shapers of the Superman legend.

From the doomed planet Krypton to Smallville, Kansas, to the great (but often troubled) city of Metropolis, a powerful superhero has fought for truth, justice, and the American way for over 70 years. In this breathtaking tribute to the man of steel himself, all the nitty-gritty, fascinating details of Superman’s life and career are investigated, analysed, and celebrated. Discover just what happened back on Krypton to propel infant “Kal-El” to Earth as the one Kryptonian hope for rebirth of their civilisation. Learn how a loving farm family named Kent adopted the baby, renamed him Clark, and instilled him with solid American values. And meet the many, many friends and enemies of our hero, including, fiercely independent but loveable Lois Lane, the nasty Joker, and Doomsday, the unstoppable creature that killed Superman.
