3.0

Eighty years of Action Comics is a long time. This book is full of reprints from Action's 80 year run. Most of the book consists of Superman reprints and essays about Superman but there is some spotlight of on some of the other features that appeared over the years including Zatara the Magician, The Vigilante, and The Human Target. Throughout the book you get a snapshot of superhero comics throughout the history of the medium. Yeah a lot of the stories have been reprinted ad nauseam (Superman's first appearance, The Key to Fort Superman, etc.), yet you cannot deny the importance of the stories of this collection. If your someone who is already well versed in Superman comics history you could skip this, for anyone else who wants to look at why Superman and Action Comics have endured for 80 years then check this collection out.
