Synopsis

Superman is the first full-fledged biography not just of the Man of Steel, but of the visionary writers and artists, publishers and performers, who kept aloft the red-and-blue-clad icon through seven decades and counting. Larry Tye shows us how Superman — like few other mythical characters before or since — has evolved in a way that offers a Rorschach test of his changing times and our highest aspirations.

In this Summer of Superman — when our hero celebrates his 75th and Warner Bros. releases its blockbuster Man of Steel movie — Tye will be back on the road hosting Superman birthday parties. To find out where and when, click above on APPEARANCES.
