Superman: The Golden Age Omnibus Vol. 1

DC · 792 pages · Omnibus

Part of the DC Omnibus guide — every release, in reading order

These groundbreaking classic stories--which cemented superman's place as the medium's most enduring hero--are gathered for the first time in this singular, expansive collection.

Faster than a speeding bullet, Superman burst onto the comic book scene in 1938, just as America was on the terrifying precipice of a world war. In a desperate time, legendary creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster brought to life the world's first modern superhero. The Man of Steel emerged as a champion of the oppressed, taking down any enemy with his super strength and speed, both abroad and near to home. In his distinctive royal blue, red, and yellow costume complete with cape, the stalwart Kryptonian emanated strength and fearlessness. He swiftly became a symbol of hope for a downtrodden America.
