Superman Comics Reading Order — The Essential Guide
The First Superhero
Superman isn't just a character — he's the character that created the entire superhero genre. First appearing in 1938, Clark Kent set the template that every hero after him follows.
But Superman's real appeal isn't his power set; it's his unwavering moral compass. The best Superman stories aren't about whether he can punch hard enough — they're about whether hope, compassion, and decency can survive in a world that constantly tests them. Reading Superman comics at their best is genuinely inspiring.
