(W) Kurt Busiek (P) Stuart Immonen (I) Wade von Grawbadger Every generation produces an icon that encapsulates it's moment in history. In the late '30's /early '40's it was... SUPERMAN--paragon of truth, justice and democracy for a war-torn world. In the early to mid '60's it was... SPIDER-MAN--luckless nerd whose powers celebrated the exuberance of youth during a time of social upheaval at the birth of the "youth culture". In the early '90's it was... SPAWN-dark, undead demon whose hell-born heart was motivated by undying love in a world embracing personal greed. Today, it is... SUPERSTAR--in a world of "boy bands" and "bellybutton girls" he is the celebrity's celebrity. A hero so beloved by his fans that they are willing to empower him with their very life-force! SUPERSTAR is a hero for the Twenty-first Century and the first original take we've seen on the genre in nearly a decade. And that AIN'T hyperbole! Jim Valentino Publisher, Image Comics A new look at superheroes from the writer behind Astro City and Marvels. Meet Superstar, a superhero with a twist: the more popular he is, the more powerful he is. With the public behind him, he can work miracles -- but without them, he's nothing. Superstar's made a deal with his father, an international media tycoon, to promote him and keep him powerful enough to save the world. But now he walks a fine line -- between staying famous enough to do the most good, and becoming just another "property" in his father's portfolio. In this self-contained introductory graphic album, Superstar has to deal with a global threat from his deadliest enemy, the techno-genius Robo Sapiens, while coping with media intrusion, personal betrayal, and his father's merchandising plans. All the action, suspense and characterization you expect from Kurt (Avengers) Busiek and Stuart (Superman) Immonen plus, an incisive look at superheroes and celebrity in a world where fame literally is power.

With a foreword by Paul Levitz, this book was completed just weeks before Al's recent passing. In these pages, the artist remembers both his struggles and triumphs in the world of comics, cartooning and beyond, painting a layered portrait of Plastino's life and career.

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.

1st printing. By Aldo J. Regalado. Bending Steel examines the historical origins and cultural significance of Superman and his fellow American crusaders. The cultural conversation articulated through the nation's early heroic fiction eventually led to a new heroic type - the brightly clad, super-powered, pro-social action heroes that first appeared in American comic books starting in the late 1930s. Tracing superhero fiction all the way back to the nineteenth century, Regalado explores the roles played by creators, producers, and consumers in crafting superhero fiction, ultimately concluding that these narratives are essential for understanding vital trajectories in American culture.
