Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman, by Marc Tyler Nobleman, illustrated by Ross MacDonald(Preschool and up)
Where did the Man of Steel come from? Boys of Steel tells the story of Superman's humble beginnings as the brain child of two quiet comic strip geeks from Ohio. Jerry and Joe meet in high school where their love for comics and dislike of sports draws them together. Both short, unassuming and bespectacled, it's easy to see where the inspiration for Superman's alter ego comes from. Wonderfully illustrated in a retro style, this read will delight those interested in comics, and inspire young artists and writers. An author's note at the end explains the fate of Jerry and Joe, and their battle with DC Comics for the rights to their creation.
