Ever since Superman first appeared on the cover of Action Comics #1
in 1938, the superhero has changed with the times to remain a
relevant icon of American popular culture for more than 70 years.
This collection explores the evolution of the Superman character
and demonstrates how his alterations mirror historical changes in
American society. Beginning with the original comic book and ending
with the 2011 Grounded storyline, these essays examine Superman's
Depression-era stint as a crusading social avenger, his patriotic
heroism during World War II, his increase in power in the early
years of the Cold War, his death and resurrection at the end of the
Cold War, and his recent dramatic reimagining. By looking at the
many changes the Man of Steen has undergone to remain pertinent,
this volume reveals as much about America as it does about the
champion of Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
