This is Superman like you DON'T remember him!
Format: Kindle
I've been a fan for as long as I've been able to tie a bath towel around my neck, so diving into these early comics has been a real joy! The character was quite different in the beginning so if you're not familiar with Golden Age Superman this might be quite the eye opener. Here in these early comics, Supes certainly isn't the Big Blue Boy Scout you knew and loved in the Silver Age and beyond; early on, he's more like the Well-Meaning Big Blue Bully/Borderline Sociopath. Sort of like early Golden Age Batman: bad guys die, Superman (or Batman) kind of shrugs and thinks, "Well, they got what they deserved..." His relationship with Lois is a bit more desperate-seeming in a few places as well. In fact, he's almost a bit stalker-ish in his pursuit/attitude toward Miss Lane. You can thank DC editor Whitney Ellsworth and a few others for softening the rough edges and turning The Man of Steel into the virtuous character we have today.

This is my Superman
Format: Paperback
Before super villains came along, Superman fought corrupt businessmen and world leaders. In this volume, you get stories like Superman trapping a wealthy mine owner in his own mine so he can feel what it’s like for his exploited workers (as I type that, I thought of a great parallel that might get this review removed haha), forced warring leaders to settle their differences in person, and destroyed a ghetto to get the government to pay to give the poor people modern housing (today our government would just leave them homeless but I digress) At some point in this volume, you get the first supervillain and it gradually goes away from this great Superman at that point but this Superman is my Superman, rough scripting/art and all

Superman: The Golden Age: Volume 1 Review
Format: Paperback
If you’re a fan of, or are interested in the Golden Age of comics, this book is for you. This is really the mainstream beginning of superhero comics. Before everything became mired in continuity, there were one-shot stories that were fun, and often dark. I definitely also recommend this for people who want to get into Superman as a character. For the price, the amount of content you get just can’t be beat.

This is a Superman I can believe in
Format: Paperback
This is the original Superman, the one who made the character a hit. His powers have limits - a fire threatens his life! - and he uses them for the little guy, against social injustice. One of the best stories, from Action #5, has Supes fighting a breaking dam and flood, but mostly he's fighting human crookedness - crooked lobbyists, crooked football coaches, crooked mine owners, crooked taxi rackets. This Superman is a law unto himself, dependent on nothing but his strength and his personal sense of right. He's a lot more like Samson in that way than he's a Christ figure, and the result is stories in which he lightheartedly smashes slums so the government will have to build decent housing for the poor, smashes cars of reckless drivers, smashes an oil well to bankrupt the crooked promoters. Private property means nothing to him. Neither do legal rights. He's not here to fight for law and order, he's here to fight for justice as he sees it. The police? the government? They're feckless at best, and more often they're part of the problem. There's a strong Progressive sensibility here: if institutions don't benefit the people, the people need to take charge and change things. That's the Superman we see here, and it's the Superman I like best - the original Superman with brute vigor, a passion for justice with no subtlety, and no taking himself too seriously. It's not art, but it's what made comic books. And it still stands up.

Where it all began
Format: Paperback
Superman was a hit almost from day one, selling not only millions of comics but quickly went on to star in radio shows, movie serials, TV shows, cartoons, movies and every other media under the sun. And it all starts here. This volume reprints the very first Superman stories from 1938 - the Superman chapters from Action Comics 1-13, the New York World's Fair special and Superman #1, some of the rarest and most valuable comic books ever published. The art is crude but serviceable, but the stories are surprisingly political. Rather than fighting super villains or aliens Superman spends more of his time taking on corrupt businessmen and politicians. In one early story he ends a war in Europe by kidnapping an arms maker and forcing him to fight in the trenches. After his experience he swears never to make weapons again. This is a Superman who takes on the real issues of his time, and while the solutions are simplistic his goals are a lot more impressive than stopping bank robbers or killer robots. An early super villain, the Ultra Humanite, puts in a appearance but even his plot is centered around labor unrest rather than death rays. This is a fascinating look into the history of American comics. politics and popular culture. I recommend it to anyone with an interest in those subjects.
