The forties A time for change. The Depression still gripped America as the decade began. But hope was offered to the masses by a new breed of hero.

This volume traces the roots of the world's fascination with Superman from his debut in Action Comics #1 through the decade, as his powers developed and his place in society changed. You will meet his friends Lois Lane and Perry Whit, plus his earliest foes - the Ultra-Humanite, J. Wilbur Wolfingham and the Toyman among others. Written and drawn by a team of talents led by creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, this book features work by Bill Finger, William Woolfolk, Dom Cameron, Wayne Boring, Al Plastino and several others who helped shape the Man of Tomorrow.
