I received an advanced reader's copy of The Superman Wars by William Bernhardt for an honest review.
The story follows the lives of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the creator's of Superman. From the character's creation, to trying to market it to publishers, to finally getting Superman published only to lose the rights to their creation. Siegel's lifetime goal: to reclaim his creation as his own.
As a child through my mid twenties, I was obsessed with comics. I knew the basics of Siegal and Shuster's battle DC Comics/Warner Brothers, but this book goes in-depth on their legal and personal struggles as their fight with a corporate powerhouse spanned decades.
I enjoyed the history and learning of the not-so honest part of the early days of comics.
