Superman of Earth-2 was totally unexpected, though...even though he has a novel coming out soon.
"Coming out?" It's out! My library has a copy, my local bookstore has a bunch of copies, and I have a copy that I bought yesterday. I have no idea why it's not
at amazon yet - I'm sure your bookstore, if it doesn't have any copies in stock, can get you one within a couple of days. I'm one chapter in and it's absolutely fantastic. If you like Superman; 1930's Americana; Kavalier and Clay; Men of Tomorrow; John Steinbeck or William Faulkner - you'll like this book. It's a little odd to see later Superman trappings - like Police Chief Parker, or Smallville being located in Kansas - transposed back to a realistic 1930s. But it works. A lot of fun and a great read.
The STTA page for the book is
here. And in an effort to keep
some organization at this forum, if you wan't to continue talking about the book, please do so
over here.
Thanks!
