High quality reprint of "the Reign of the Super-man," the very
first "superman" story by Gerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Not a comic
book, but a short novel in the style of the pulps, it tells the
story of Bill Dunn, a down-of-his-luck man who acquires superpowers
through a radical experiment. The story has all the main elements
of the superman myth: a bald super-villain, an unknown element
coming from space that mutates human beings, telescopic-vision,
aliens, and an indomitable quest for absolute power. It was
originally published on Science Fiction - The Advance Guard of
Future Civilization #3 (Jan. 1933), one of the very first fanzine
to be created, which Siegel and Shuster developed with a typewriter
and mimeographic machine for printing. Also collected for the first
time: "Goober the Mighty", Siegel's Tarzan parody, Stiletto Vance
the vain detective, and other raw gems the creators of Superman
developed for the Torch, the High School newspaper they worked for.
