Excellent History--of Story Telling and of Art
Very entertaining book. Has Superman stories through the years, so that you can see how Superman changed, how comic art changed, how comic storytelling changed, etc. I read all the Silver Age Superman titles (as I worked in my dad's drugstore, and I could read the comics while handling the front of the store cash register sales.) I was a fan of 50's -60's Superman, until Spiderman and Fantastic Four showed the way for comics to be much better in the later 60's. But this Action book enabled me to see the "new way" they draw and present Superman. Well worth the purchase.

Wonderful!
Wonderful selection of comics stories from the past 80 years of Action Comics, with a number of interesting essays, including one by Jerry Siegel's daughter Laura, as well as a previously unpublished, 12-page Jerry Siegel story rescued from the wastebin by Marv Wolfman. Curiously, the reproduction of Action Comics # 1, while seemingly provided from a better copy than other reproductions I own, introduces an error in panel 39 (Superman man says, ... your going to get!, rather than, ...you're going to get!) which is absent from my other copies. It's a great volume, and I'm glad to own it.

Happy 80th Birthday Man Of Steel!
Couldn't be happier with Action Comics: 80 Years Of Superman - Deluxe Edition! It's a beautiful book and larger than your average graphic novel. The stories and artwork are beautifully reprinted and I'm very happy to add this to my collection. If you're on the fence about buying this, I assure you, it's totally worth it and you definitely won't regret it! Nice, nice work DC Comics! This is truly a wondeful & fitting celebration of 80 years of The Man Of Steel! A+++ (sorry the pictures are a little blurry!)

It looks like a great book
It looks like a great book. Just thumbed it and it has stories that look good and representative of Superman in Action comics. For the most part I read Superman comics so this anthology of Action comics stories has many I haven't read. I wanted to give it 5 stars, but the cover drawing of Superman is terrible. He looks like a Neanderthal goon. How can an artist give him that low brow look? It signals lack of intelligence and has done for decades.

Beautiful book covering some of the better Superman stories of the last 80 years.
Hard to believe the Man of Steel has been around for 80 years. This book covers some great comic book stories covering that period. Fun to see the evolution of this iconic character. It’s a must have for any Superman fan.

Good history of Superman
Lots of comics in this one book. I never knew about the majority of these ones. Good product about the history of Superman. Has the old black and white comics as well as colored ones.

80 anos do maior herói de todos!
Uma coletânea maravilhosa de histórias que fazem parte desses longos anos do personagem. Com bastante texto explicativo e informativo, recomendo demais a edição. Uma pena nunca ter saído aqui no Brasil. A edição está maravilhosa, recomendo demais aos fãs do homem de aço.

old timer Superman Fan
Been a superman comic fan for over sixty years, only wish I still had the superman and other comics that myfather destroyed because he didn't think kids should be reading such junk, they should be reading Field & Streamand Outdoor Life magazines.The 80 years of Superman were great and passed away a lot of snowy nights when the lights went out,enjoyed them immensely, if you are a Superman fan this is the book for you.
