SUPERMAN STORIES
A List of Major Superman Comic Stories
Version 4.50 May 2004
INTRODUCTION: This document contains a list of all major Superman comic-book
stories that fit into the current continuity. Ever since the 1986 revamp
that restarted Superman from square one, the Superman comic books have fit
into a tightly-woven continuity. Events from one story often lead into
another, and subplots carry over from one major story line to the next. When
a character re-appears after a long absence, he will recall and may have been
affected by the events of the story in which he last appeared. Due to this
tight integration, all previous stories (in the current continuity) are "real
history" and thus possibly relevant to any other Superman story. In
addition, I have begun to mark cameo appearances as such within the list.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Superman and all related characters are trademarks of DC
Comics. Mention of these characters in this document is without permission
of DC Comics, but said use is not intended to challenge DC's trademark rights
or copyrights. Readers who want to learn more about Superman are encouraged
to purchase the comic books. The author strongly suggests that this document
be distributed free of charge.
AUTHORSHIP: This list was originally compiled by David T. Chappell, and more
recently Matthew Guy, and it is their opinions alone that determined whether
a Superman story was worthy of inclusion in this document. It is based on the
Superman comic books that they possess. Comments, suggestions, and
corrections may be sent via the main Feedback Form at the
SupermanHomepage.com.
AVAILABILITY: This list is available on the World Wide Web at the Superman
Homepage at
http://www.supermanhomepage.com/comics/comics.php?topic=comics-supermancomicslist
The Superman FAQ is available at the same site.
CONTENTS: Mini-Series, Regular Series, Annuals, Specials, Graphic Novels,
Prestige Format Mini-Series, Periodicals, Trade Paperbacks, Novels. This
list includes only comics from post-Crisis continuity. It does NOT include
any comics in which Superman appeared only in a flashback of a previously-
shown story (e.g., WONDER WOMAN #102's recap of ACTION #600). Elseworlds and
other out-of-continuity stories have also been omitted.
TITLE ABBREVIATIONS: The following abbreviations are used within the list to
indicate the title of the various comic books.

MINI-SERIES: A set of four mini-series redefined the Man of Steel and
established his new background. Readers should note the difference between
THE MAN OF STEEL mini-series and the later SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL
regular series. Superman helped rescue the JSA from limbo in the last of the
ARMAGEDDON stories. Four later mini-series expanded on the supporting cast
of the Superman comics, and the SHOWCASE '95 & '96 series have feature
stories starring characters from the Superman mythos.
