Title: Superman as he was meant to be!
Review: Jeph Loeb, in his current monthly writing gig on DC Comics' SUPERMAN, demonstrates an innate understanding of Superman, and who he should be. Fans who can't get enough of his fine work on SUPERMAN would be well-advised to check out S: FAS, his first work on the character. The magic found in his present Superman material is overflowing in this early story. Taking place during the first year of Clark Kent's adventures in superheroing, Loeb gives us a gentle, epic fantasy with a charming hero, slimy enemies (his Lex Luthor is flawless), and rich human drama. The book evokes the feel of another brilliant Superman story--the beloved Richard Donner/Christopher Reeve film from 1978. Not surprising, given that Loeb is a screenwriter/film producer himself. (Would that he was making the next Superman movie!) This book is a must for any Superman lover, young or old.
