A fast-paced graphic novel featuring Superman (and his alter ego Clark Kent) in his early days still trying to figure out what powers he has and remembering more about his origin as an alien immigrant. The Lee family moves from Chinatown to Metropolis and become targets of the Klan of the Fiery Kross. The essay at the end provides a brief history of Superman, the discrimination of African-Americans, Japanese-Americans, and Chinese-Americans, white supremacy, and the Ku Klux Klan. This graphic novel is based on a radio series from 1946.
