Hollywood Spotlight Releases "The Ultimate Guide to Superman 85th Anniversary Special"
Posted on June 19, 2023 by Neil Cole
Film and television magazine, Hollywood Spotlight has released "The Ultimate Guide to Superman 85th Anniversary Special" which covers the rich history of the Man of Steel dating back to the 1938 debut of the iconic superhero in "Action Comics No. 1".
"Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman!" Eighty-five years after his debut, we still get a thrill when we hear that phrase, all these years later, it continues to inspire hope, offering us the chance to see the perfect hero flying in to save the day.
Superman is the first superhero, but he is also a great immigrant story. He is, after all, an alien, in every sense of the word, who has come from across the universe to become the perfect embodiment of the American Dream. Small town boy makes good. It's the stuff dreams are made of.
"The core narrative in Superman has been and continues to be the values and belief about the U.S. experience being strong enough and good enough to address the troubles facing the generation engaged with the character." - Julian C. Chambliss, Professor of History, Michigan State University
With that in mind, and on the 85th anniversary of his birth, Hollywood Spotlight takes a deep dive over 100 pages into everything Superman-related, from the comic books that introduced him to the cartoons and TV shows and movies that only added to his legend and continue to make him the greatest hero of all time.
"The Ultimate Guide to Superman 85th Anniversary Special" retails for US$13.99 and is currently available for purchase at Magazineshop.us and on newsstands nationwide.
