Superman: The Golden Age Vol. 4 (Action Comics (1938-2011))

It was fun to read. It covers stories from the late 1941 to early 1942. However, comics were often distributed 3 to 4 months ahead of the month on the cover, thus there is no indication that the U.S. is at war yet. However, Superman fights fifth columnists in several of these stories. In addition to this, SM protects consumers against crashing trains and planes, faces some new villains - the Archer, the Lightning Master, and the Evolution King -, fights against a Hitler-like dictator, and confronts the mad scientist Luthor on four occasions. On a couple of occasions, Siegel makes a detour into the fantastic with The City beneath the Earth and The Undersea City where strange civilizations jeopardize humanity. Jimmy Olsen makes his first appearances in SM 13 and 14 (The Archer and The Corp Who Was Ruined). The plots, dialogues, and artwork are characteristic of this period. The only difference is that now DC has a greater variety of illustrators although it is hard to distinguish artists’ work the way readers do nowadays. The usual comic situations between Lois and Clark are included here.

I like being able to zoom in on the art work or zoom out when I am looking thru the stories. This is something that is done better on a digital screen than with a magnifying glass and a print copy. I think the print copy would also be GREAT 👍 but I chose this version and I am glad I did. Cheers mate!

Old stories of the greatest hero of all time, Superman are good! Superman is a good reason to go back to buy comics again.

The color printing was very good. Was amazed that Superman actually jumped from place to place instead of flying in these early stories.

I hope they continue with volume 5

Good quality and speedy delivery.

This book shows the beginning of superman. It has good graphics and interresting stories.

muito bom, muito bom
