Description

Published in 2005. The fourth volume in a series of trade paperbacks collecting the 1986 post-Crisis Superman reboot. Volume 4 collected SUPERMAN #7-8, ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #430-431, ACTION COMICS #590-591, and LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #37-38. In addition to the Man of Steel himself, the cover features Rampage, Superboy and Krypto, Brainiac 5, a Chemo/Superman hybrid and Mammoth from the Fearsome Five.

I�m thrilled to have this in my collection, as Jerry Ordway is easily one of my all-time favorite comic book artists. I started reading the Superman books in 1989, so Ordway and Dan Jurgens will always be the definitive Superman artists in my mind.

The issues collected in this volume include the infamous death of Superboy story that crossed over with the Legion of Super-Heroes. I could probably write a long essay on my feelings about that story, but I won�t bore you with that here. I will mention that it took me five years to track down a copy of the actual death issue - Legion of Super-Heroes #38 - before I finally obtained a copy at a small comic show in 1994. Obtaining back issues could be quite the challenge in those pre-internet (and for me pre-driver�s license) days.
