DC Comics in 1938, with Action Comics #1, launched the original comic book super hero universe. They introduced Superman, the Man of Steel, the Last Son of Krypton, the Man of Tomorrow.

Legion of 3 Worlds

Walt

Finally we are getting the Final – Final Crisis story months after the main story has ended, coming July 22 at your nearest comic store.
