Spinning out of the pages of Reign of the Supermen, witness the rise of John Henry Irons from humble engineer to soaring superhero in this 30-year retrospective! In the aftermath of Supermans death, former steelworker and weapons designer John Henry Irons felt compelled to honor the fallen hero by doing his part to protect Metropolis. Pairing his blacksmith skills with his brilliant engineering mind, John Henry forged a super-powered suit of armor and emerged as a new contender for the mantle of the Man of Steel. Despite taking inspiration from Superman, Steel set himself apart from other Supermen by pairing his enhanced strength with amazing resourcefulness, preferring to solve problems with his mind instead of his sledgehammer. This earned him the respect of the hero he admired and the rest of the Justice League, who grew to value Steel as a reliable and trustworthy ally. STEEL: A CELEBRATION OF 30 YEARS covers three decades of John Henry Irons adventures in the DC Universe, featuring stories from some of the comics industry's greatest storytellers. This anniversary volume also includes retrospective essays from Steel creators Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove, as well as acclaimed scribe Christopher Priest. Hardcover, 328 pages, full color. Ages 13+ Cover price $39.99.
