Superman For All Seasons
Smallville explores the story of a young Clark Kent and his place in the world on television. In the comics, this was very well illustrated in Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's "Superman For All Seasons." This has been labeled a "must read" by many fans and also listed as the favorite Superman story of recent years by many. Check it out!


Superman: Peace on Earth
Were you impressed by Alex Ross's recent TV Guide covers featuring Smallville? Thought so. In 1998, Ross painted the oversized Superman: Peace on Earth graphic novel which is written by Paul Dini of Batman: The Animated Series fame. Every page is worth framing.
Ross also painted similar books for Batman, Wonder Woman, and Captain Marvel.

Trade Paperback of the Week™!
Time for a break from the straight Superman TPBs. This week, DC ships a 15 year old story in TPB form. Shortly following the Crisis in the mid 80s, Wolfman and Perez put out a follow up narrative which looks at a “history” of the DC universe. This will not only give you insight into Superman, but also many of the other DC heroes, and not just the big hitters. Be warned, changes to mythos have happened since this story was written, but if you want a brief overview of the whole DCU, this would be where to start.

THE HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE
Written by Marv Wolfman; art by George Perez and Karl Kesel; painted cover by Alex Ross

This unusual project, which spun out of the universe-changing events of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, returns in a new trade paperback edition — featuring an all-new painted wraparound cover by Alex Ross! Narrated by Harbinger (a central figure from CRISIS), HISTORY brings readers back through time and space to the dawn of creation, and continues on to the end of recorded history — as Harbinger reveals "the History of Heroism." Featuring an appearance by virtually every character in the DC Universe of
that time!
104-page Trade Paperback. $9.95 - Order it now for from Amazon.com!
