Everyone knows Superman, but not
everyone knows the secret origins of this American legend. Based on archival
material and original sources, writer Julian Voloj and artist Thomas Campi tell
the story of the friendship between illustrator Joe Shuster and writer Jerry
Siegel, who thought they had achieved their dream of creating a world-famous
character. The young, inexperienced pair expected to get rich--instead, they
made a deal they would ultimately regret. Told from Shuster's perspective, this
fascinating graphic novel about geeks and gangsters puts Superman's creation
into the wider context of the American comic-book history.
