A celebration of Superman's life and history--in time for his 75th birthday

How has the Big Blue Boy Scout stayed so popular for so long? How has he changed with the times, and what essential aspects of him have remained constant? This fascinating biography examines Superman as a cultural phenomenon through 75 years of action-packed adventures, from his early years as a social activist in circus tights to his growth into the internationally renowned demigod he is today.

  • Chronicles the ever-evolving Man of Steel and his world--not just the men and women behind the comics, movies and shows, but his continually shifting origin story, burgeoning powers, and the colorful cast of trusted friends and deadly villains that surround him
  • Places every iteration of the Man of Steel into the character's greater, decades-long story: From Bud Collyer to Henry Cavill, World War II propagandist to peanut butter pitchman, Super Pup to Super Friends, comic strip to Broadway musical, Lori Lemaris to Lois & Clark--it's all here
  • Affectionate, in-depth analyses of the hero's most beloved adventures, in and out of the comics--his most iconic Golden Age tales, goofiest Silver Age exploits, and the contemporary film, television, and comics stories that keep him alive today
  • Written by NPR book critic, blogger, and resident comic book expert, Glen Weldon

Great genuine leather wallet
Color: Embossed Leather - Tan, Color: Embossed Leather - Tan
Having experienced card damage from a Ridge wallet and similar ejector-type wallets, I began an extensive search for a more conventional wallet. This wallet is great! Genuine leather, looks good, priced right and holds all my cards plus cash. Best of all, it doesn't ruin the cards. It's very nice that the ID portion is removable, letting you carry a much smaller wallet with just your ID and another singular card.
