KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 16, 2013 - Far into the future, the legacy of the world's greatest Super Hero endures. The Superman Files (Andrews McMeel Publishing, November, $75) celebrates the triumphs and trials of 75 years of the Man of Steel in the most comprehensive and complete chronicle of his life ever created.
One thousand years from now, a group of super-powered teenagers is inspired by Superman's legacy. As the Legion of Super-Heroes, they dedicate their lives to fighting crime and protecting the citizens of the United Planets. Like many in our current time, members of the 31st Century Legion idolize Superman. They frequent the Superman Museum, marvel at tales of his past, and a few of them even travel back in time to Clark Kent's teenage years. In a future without precise records of the 21st Century, Brainiac 5 (a highly intelligent descendant of Superman's arch foe, the original Brainiac) takes it upon himself to compile a tribute to his hero and friend. Collecting accounts from a myriad of sources, he compiles the greatest historical record in the universe of the life and times of the Man of Steel in The Superman Files.
