Book of Interest: Superman: The Golden Age vol #1

I've read a lot of Superman comics but seeing as though they have been around for 78 years there are bound to be books that I have not read. Over the years, I've read some of the older issues but not necessarily in order. Which is why I want to read this, it will give me a chance to start from the beginning.



Book: Superman: The Golden Age volume #1 (contains issues: Action Comics #1-19, Superman #1-3 and New York World's Fair Comics #1) by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster

Description:

Historic first appearances from Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s legendary Man of Steel!

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 foreign 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.
