3.5. I enjoyed the book overall but I think it spent too much time rehashing the irigins of Superman. Much of the audience for this particular book is well aware of the tale of how Joe and Jerry created the Man if Steel. It frustrated me because I really wanted to get into the parts of the story that I didn't already know much sooner.

I learned a lot from this book! I’m a huge DC fan so I probably was a lot more interested and invested than the average reader, but this short book packed a lot of information. From the backstories of Superman’s creators, to how/why Superman was created, to the KKK, to how Superman’s stories evolved to take on the hate groups plaguing America; I really enjoyed reading everything!

When a most beloved superhero takes on an abhorrent bunch of yahoos, we are accustomed to an action-packed fight to victory. This is more like the accountants version of the nuts and bolts of the comic book and hate group businesses.

Parallel stories of the history of the Klan and Superman collide in 1949, when the writers of the popular Superman radio show decide to tackle hate groups. From the beginning, Superman stood for the underdog and sought justice, but it was after World War II that social issues became a main focus of his stories.
