The Krypton Companion

Unlock the secrets of the most influential age of Superman's history-whenkryptonite came in multiple colors, super-pets scampered across the skies and

Brainiac first invaded Earth — in The Krypton Companion, a

1986. Writer/editor Michael Eury explores this classic comics era through

all-new interviews with fan-favorite Superman writers and artists;

previously unpublished and/or immortal artwork by Curt Swan, Neal Adams, Wayne

Boring, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Adam Hughes, Nick Cardy, Jim Mooney and others;

Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel's "lost" imaginary story "The Death of Clark

Kent;" a roundtable discussion where today's comics pros — including John

Byrne, Alex Ross and Mark Waid — discuss the Superman of yesteryear and

other revealing features! Plus a (last-page) introduction by Bizarro No. 1

(abetted by Seinfeld writer David Mandel) and a super cover by

Watchmen's Dave Gibbons!
