(3) 1-3 Superman Family Adventures series. Illustrated by Art Baltazar. This series by an Eisner Award–winning team brings the Superman stories to a young audience. Here a simple story--in which the Man of Steel (and a lack of battery power) defeats Toyman--unfolds via easy-to-follow speech balloons and vivid cartoon-panel illustrations. Independent and reluctant readers will be drawn to the fast action, zany humor, and familiar characters. "Visual Questions & Prompts" are appended. Glos.
