The Man from Krypton A Closer Look at Superman

Superman has returned. The prototypical superhero and original icon, Superman is as American as baseball and apple pie and as ubiquitous as Mickey Mouse; he's been a part of our lives for more than six decades through comic books, the small screen and feature films. Yet there is much about Superman that has never been examined. Until now.

Glenn Yeffeth is the editor of many anthologies in the Smart Pop series, including Anthology at the End of the Universe, Farscape Forever!, Five Seasons of Angel, Navigating the Golden Compass, Taking the Red Pill, Seven Seasons of Buffy, and What Would Sipowitz Do? He lives in Dallas, Texas.
