Review of 'Superman Smashes the Klan' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Based on a radio script originally aired in 1946 about Superman defending a Chinese-American family from the Klan, this comic adaptation reminds us that Superman is a minority immigrant as well.
The author neatly interweaves the stories of a Chinese-American family, Superman, and the bigots that hate them both. There are surprising levels to the story as it's not just the men in the hoods that have prejudices to deal with.
The best superhero comic I've read in ages. Highly recommended!
