From one of the most acclaimed and profound writers in the world of comics comes a thrilling and provocative exploration of humankind?s great modern myth: the superhero. The first superhero comic ever published, Action Comics no. 1 in 1938, introduced the world to something both unprecedented and timeless: Superman, a caped god for the modern age.

Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible
