The Superman Chronicles, Vol. 1


Jerry Siegel - 2006
    An instant hit from his first appearance, Superman's popularity has grown through the decades -- and today he is known worldwide as the defender of Truth, Justice and the American Way.But his earliest stories reveal a Superman who took no prisoners, made his own laws and gleefully delivered his own brand of justice -- even if it meant dangling a crook by the ankle from above the city, or giving a wife-beater a taste of his own medicine. This was a Superman who embodied pure wish fulfillment, with his early adventures showing a raw super-hero in the making -- and the development of an enduring classic!DC Comics is proud to present this definitive and affordable collection of Superman's first stories. Assembled here are his earliest adventures from ACTION COMICS #1-13, NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR COMICS #1 and SUPERMAN #1 -- including all covers.

During the Infinite Crisis, Superboy-Prime began punching holes into the timestream, which caused a ripple effect, correcting certain historical events that should not have taken place - one of these was the death of Jason Todd. The time ripple caught up with Todd six months after his death and resurrected him. Jason Todd was reborn inside his own coffin and had to claw his way to freedom.Though alive, Jason was but a shell of the boy he once was. He suffered severe brain damage and amnesia. He was taken in by the staff of the Huntington Convalescent Home and spent months recuperating. His memories slowly began to return and he thirsted for revenge against the Joker.One of Batman's oldest adversaries, Ra's al Ghul, discovered Todd and had him brought to his compound. He spent time with Ra's daughter, Talia, who convinced him to bathe inside the Lazarus Pit. The restorative powers of the pit completed Todd's recuperation and also aged him to adulthood. Todd and Talia left the care of Ra's al Ghul and Jason eventually adopted the masked identity of one of his killer's former aliases - the Red Hood.
