as the dread pirate Leatherwing; and the armored hero Steel faces a vicious
slavemaster on a Civil War-era plantation. |

| Between the
fantastic story by Moore and the amazing art from the team of Dwyer and
Barta this is a book you just can't put down. See Superman as a monster
raised by Darkseid! Jack Kirby's mythic Fourth World never looked so good. |

Read This Book!
I am the co-creator and
artist of this series and I strongly urge you to read it, whether you are
a fan of Superman and/or Jack Kirby's Fourth World stuff or not. It was
one of my favorite projects in my 12+ years as a comics professional, and
I feel very strongly about the finished product. I stand behind it 100%
and feel certain that you will take something of value from reading it.
I hope you do. |

Generations:
An
Imaginary Tale |
| by John Byrne |
Paperback: 208 pages
DC Comics
ISBN: 1563896052 |
$17.95
|
| GENERATIONS
deals with Batman and Superman in real-time: They were introduced in 1939
and age accordingly over the next century. Instead of Bruce Wayne continuously
being Batman, he ages, and the mantle is passed on to others. Superman
has to deal with a similar situation, for even if he doesn't age as a human
does, Clark Kent has to. The best feature of the book is following these
two heroes throughout the 20th century, and seeing their secret identities
play an ever-greater role in shaping their lives. They begin to behave
more like normal people. |
| John Byrne was
able to cover a staggering amount of material in this volume, pulling it
off very smoothly. Also, the story is loaded with Golden/Silver-Age references,
and each decade manages to capture the atmosphere of what comics were like
at that time.
