Unlock the secrets of the most influential age of Superman's history-when
kryptonite came in multiple colors, super-pets scampered across the skies and
Brainiac first invaded Earth — in The Krypton Companion, a
behind-the-scenes exploration of the Man of Steel's adventures from 1958 through
1986. Writer/editor Michael Eury explores this classic comics era through
all-new interviews with fan-favorite Superman writers and artists;
previously unpublished and/or immortal artwork by Curt Swan, Neal Adams, Wayne
Boring, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Adam Hughes, Nick Cardy, Jim Mooney and others;
Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel's "lost" imaginary story "The Death of Clark
Kent;" a roundtable discussion where today's comics pros — including John
Byrne, Alex Ross and Mark Waid — discuss the Superman of yesteryear and
other revealing features! Plus a (last-page) introduction by Bizarro No. 1
(abetted by Seinfeld writer David Mandel) and a super cover by
Watchmen's Dave Gibbons!
