Superman: Kryptonite Nevermore

<b>The Man of Steel's greatest weakness&#151;gone forever?</b><br><br>Kryptonite.&#160;The very word has become synonymous with hidden vulnerability&#151;a modern-day Achilles' heel. The fragmentary remains of Superman's doomed home planet this glowing green mineral has bedeviled the World's Greatest Hero since he first arrived on Earth.&#160;<br>&#160;<br>But what would happen if this deadly threat was completely eradicated?&#160;<br>&#160;<br>That was the question posed in 1971 when legendary comics editor Julius Schwartz took over the Superman family of titles at DC Comics. In response an up-and-coming young writer named Dennis O'Neil joined with acclaimed artists Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson to deliver what would become a milestone in the history of American comics: the saga of Kryptonite Nevermore!<br>&#160;<br>Over the course of nine issues in the monthly <i>Superman</i> series this supercharged creative team turned decades of continuity on their head and transformed the Last Son of Krypton from an impossibly strong galaxy-faring adventurer into a more reasonable powered relatable guardian of Earth. Now in celebration of the 50th anniversary of its original publication DC Comics is proud to present an all-new hardcover edition collecting this historic story line in its entirety&#151;featuring newly restored color on every page as well as insightful essays from O'Neil and former DC presiden and publisher Paul Levitz.
