Robinson has been an influential teacher, an important curator of cartooning art exhibits, and a tireless champion of artists' rights.

Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Max Landis, acclaimed screenwriter of the hit film CHRONICLE, presents seven stories from the life of the man who will be the Man of Steel, seven pivotal moments that turned a sometimes good, sometimes angry, sometimes funny, always human, all-American alien into the world’s first superhero.
