A brilliant, ruthless businessman, billionaire Lex Luthor has been many things: a devoted father, a one-handed Kryptonite-wielding criminal mastermind, a mentor to Supergirl, and even his own son (sort of).

Now, some of the most memorable tales of the Man of Steel's greatest foe are collected in the unforgettably titled Superman: They Saved Luthor's Brain trade paperback. Topped off with a handsome new cover by Stuart Immonen (Superman: End of the Century), the stories in They Saved Luthor's Brain include Luthor's first appearance in current continuity (from Man of Steel); the first appearances of post-Crisis Supergirl from Superman (2nd series); the strange story of Luthor's "death" and return and more (from Action Comics). Superman: They Saved Luthor's Brain is a collection readers will want to save for a long time to come.

By J. Michael Straczynski.

For four decades, J. Michael Straczynski has been one of the most successful writers in Hollywood, one of the few to forge multiple careers in movies, television, and comics. Yet there's one story he's never told before: his own. Joe grew up in abject poverty, living in slums and projects when not on the road, crisscrossing the country in his father's desperate attempts to escape the consequences of his past. Joe found refuge in his beloved comics and his dreams, and his ability to tell stories and make everything come out the way he wanted it. But even as he found success, he could not escape a dark and shocking secret that hung over his family's past.

Becoming Superman lays bare the facts of his life: a story of creation and darkness, hope and success, a larger-than-life villain and a little boy who became the hero of his own life.
