In 1943, not only was Superman setting sales records in the comic-book world, he was appearing in theaters, on the radio, in a novel, and in a myriad of toys and games. All this success energized the Man of Steel's comics, as demonstrated by the stories presented in SUPERMAN ARCHIVES Volume 6 - a 216-page hardcover reprinting SUPERMAN #21-24, featuring stories by Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and others, plus an introduction by comics industry giant Steve Geppi, owner of Diamond Comic Distributors. Both the art and the stories showcased in this volume reflect a growing sense of sophistication, with stronger characterization as well. Superman's foes, too, were becoming more than just corrupt officials, blackmarketers, fifth columnists, and toughs (although there are plenty of them in this collection). This volume finds Superman facing off against The Prankster, investigating a murder on a college campus, lifting the spirits of a suicidal baseball player, confronting a modern Robin Hood, resolving the riddle of the gremlin-like Squffles, and 10 other classic tales of the Man of Steel!
