6/30/2023 0 Comments Superman smashes klan![]() ![]() ![]() Superman Smashes the Klan is part of the DC Zoom imprint aimed at young readers, and given how much my kids devoured it, I would say it’s a hit. Yang gets at the heart of why people have been enamored with Superman since two children of Jewish immigrants first invented him in 1938 while also giving us a master class on how to make a story both morally and politically relevant. The gold standard is now Gene Luen Yang’s Superman Smashes the Klan. As “must-read” as all these stories are, if there was one single Superman story I could hand to a friend, I would pick none of these. All-Star Superman brings together diverse aspects of Superman’s history, Birthright and Secret Origins compellingly modernize his origin story, What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way? gets at the heart of Superman’s philosophy, and Superman: Rebirth tugs at your heartstrings by making Superman into a father. There have been many brilliant and relevant Superman stories that “get the character right” in the eyes of many Superman fans. ![]()
