Book details
Superman: Adventures of the Man of Steel (Superman)
Description
New to our world, and working as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, Superman has to contend with a terrifying Superman robot-clone created by arch-villain Lex Luthor. Since Clark Kent first removed his glasses and changed into his majestic red and blue costume, Superman has been the archetypical hero. Depicted in all forms of media from newspaper dailies to radio serials to major motion pictures, the Man of Steel has always been the greatest and most revered champion of justice. In THE ADVENTURES OF THE MAN OF STEEL, the last son of Krypton's adventures are portrayed in a fluid and invigorating animated style. Featuring Lex Luthor, Livewire, and Metallo, this book adds another chapter to the formidable legacy of the Man of Steel.
