Always Available Superman Sampler

Celebrate the history of America's most famous adopted son with this sampler of heroic adventures. Hundreds of other Superman selections can be found in the Fulco Library catalog and on Hoopla. So many stories have been written about Superman since his 1938 debut that no one reading list could contain them all, and books (including one on this list) have been written about the writers! This list contains just a small sample of Superman media to help readers browse for the type of Superman story they might enjoy. The first issues of several landmark comic book story lines have been included, and full runs of these storylines are available for download on Hoopla with no wait. Ignore the publication date listed on the eBook record, and check the original comic book publication date instead for reading guidance. These dates have often been changed to match new formatting. Art teachers and students can also use the decades of Superman publications to discuss changes in print production (four-color process to digital), copyright law, and views of different societal problems/crime prevention and punishment over time. To download these works to your favorite device, install the hoopla app! You'll need your library card number and PIN/password to check out ten titles with no wait each month. If you have not changed your PIN/password, it is CHANGEME. Atlanta Public School students and employees can also log in as part of CLASS PASS with their student ID or Lawson number.
