About the Author
Joe Shuster was born in 1914 in Toronto, Canada. When he was nine, his family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where Shuster met Jerry Siegel. The two became fast friends and collaborators; together, they published the earliest science-fiction fan magazines, where Shuster honed his fledgling art skills. In 1936, he and Siegel began providing DC Comics with such new features as Dr. Occult, Slam Bradley, and Radio Squad before selling Superman to DC in 1938. Influenced by such comic-strip greats as Wash Tubbs’ Roy Crane, Joe Shuster drew Superman through 1947, after which he left comic books to create the comic strip Funnyman, again with Siegel. Failing eyesight cut short his career, but not before his place in the history of American culture was assured. Shuster died of heart failure on July 30, 1992.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Introduction to Golden Age Superman
This was my first exposure to the Golden Age version of Superman. Most of my DC reading has been focused on the era from the late 1980s through the early 2000s. I grew up watching Super Friends on Saturday mornings and have avoided all of the Golden Age stuff because I assumed it would be antiquated, boring and so outdated that it wouldn't hold my interest. I was woefully mistaken.When Superman is first introduced in Action Comics #1, he is not a dull, overpowered boy scout. But instead a well meaning, loose cannon that seeks to administer his brand of justce by any means necessary. His power set is limited and he outright breaks the law several times as a resolution to a moral ending. These stories may be from the late 1930's, but they are extremely entertaining. The art is a bit crude and archaic, but it maintains a certain charm. Simply put, these stories were a lot of fun to read.I finished reading the entire volume in a few days and have begun ordering omnibus editions of Golden Age Superman to continue my reading. Something I was not expecting to happen.If like me you have skipped out on Golden Age era DC stuff because you thought it would suck, do yourself a favor and try out this collection. I was genuinely surprised at how much I enjoyed this trade. I look forward to more of these DC Finest editions to further broaden my horizons.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of the earliest Superman stories
I’m impressed by this DC Finest series of softcover color reprints. They are thick volumes, well bound and printed, and the image size is equivalent to that of the DC Archives series. Here we have a collection of the earliest Superman stories, from a time when he was superhuman but not all powerful (he could get knocked down occasionally), delighted in scaring information out of criminals, and even occasionally let crooks die. Highly recommended!
5.0 out of 5 stars This is superman!
If you never read these first adventures of Superman you are in for a treat. Now these stories are set before he started to fly, there was no kryptonite, no super villains like brainiac, doomsday, darkseid . No mostly just mobsters, corrupt politicians, war criminals. But still fun and wholesome. A great time for anyone.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Look At Superman’s Early Years
This is an excellent collection of Superman’s earliest comic book appearances. The print is decent and the art looks good. I enjoyed these stories and would highly recommend them to fans of classic comics.
5.0 out of 5 stars How it all started
Color illustrated. Very well put together. It's how comics really took off with the very first superhero.
5.0 out of 5 stars I'm happy

Una gran sorpresa
Una fantástica sorpresa. Después de leer la golden age de Batman (se me hizo mucha bola) y la de Wonder Woman (interesante por sus muchas curiosidades) no imaginaba que la de Superman fuera tan buena y que todavía pudiera leerse tan bien. El Superman campeón de los oprimidos y con no tantos poderes, me ha gustado mucho. Siempre había pensado que no era buena idea acercar a los súper héroes a los problemas auténticos del mundo real, pero estos cómics me han desmentido. Hacia el final del volumen, no obstante, las historias empiezan a despegarse la realidad económica y social y empiezan a adentrarse un poco en lo fantástico. Veremos cómo sigue, pero quiero leer más.
Great Get
Great book that's aged very gracefully. Incredibly funny too
