DC Finest: Superman – The Man of Steel

DC Finest: Superman: The Man of Steel collects the foundational stories of Superman’s post-Crisis on Infinite Earths reinvention, where John Byrne (Man of Steel, X-Men) and Marv Wolfman (New Teen Titans, Crisis on Infinite Earths) reimagine the Last Son of Krypton for a new era.

Starting with the six-issue Man of Steel miniseries, Byrne fundamentally changed Superman’s origins and propelled him into the present, featuring stories with Lex Luthor, Metallo, the Titans, Darkseid, and more! This volume reveals a Clark Kent rooted in humanity, a Lois Lane with unstoppable drive, and a Lex Luthor redefined as a ruthless corporate tyrant.

Collects The Man of Steel #1–6; Superman #1–6; Adventures of Superman #424–429; Action Comics #584–588; Legends #6, and pages from Legends #1-5 and Hawkman #10. 


The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library Vol. 31 - Donald Duck: Christmas Cheers

Christmas isn't looking too cheerful for the citizens of Duckburg until Huey, Dewey, and Louie discover gold on Uncle Scrooge's land -- but getting it out and safely to Scrooge's money bin proves to be far more complicated than anyone thought. But along the way -- presents for everyone!

Then, Donald is pressured into jockeying a thousand logs down a river he's never seen to a sawmill he's never heard of -- but the reward is $1.00 a log! Daring logjams, avalanches, and whirlpools, Donald and the boys risk it all -- but their biggest danger comes from Black Pierre and his crew of river rats who want that reward for themselves! Next, Donald faces the greatest challenge of them all -- the grueling jalopy race to fetch mistletoe from the Black Forest! The prize? The right to kiss Daisy Duck at Duckburg's Mistletoe Ball. But Gladstone Gander wants to win, too -- and Gladstone's luck never fails him!

Also: A 75-page epic starring Donald and Uncle Scrooge, plus the return of the Junior Woodchucks for two adventures, both written and penciled by Barks and finished and inked by Daan Jippes.
