 The year is 1946, and the Lee family has moved from Metropolis' Chinatown to the
center of the bustling city. While Dr. Lee is greeted warmly in his new position
at the Metropolis Health Department, his two kids, Roberta and Tommy, are more
excited about being closer to their famous hero, Superman!
While Tommy adjusts to the fast pace of the city, Roberta feels out of place, as
she tries and fails to fit in with the neighborhood kids. As the Lees try to
adjust to their new lives, an evil is stirring in Metropolis: the Ku Klux Klan.
When the Lee family awakens one night to find a burning cross on their lawn,
they consider leaving town. But the Daily Planet offers a reward for information
on the KKK, and their top two reporters, Lois Lane and Clark Kent, dig into the
story. When Tommy is kidnapped by the KKK, Superman leaps into action-with help
from Roberta! But Superman is still new to his powers-he hasn't even worked out
how to fly yet, so he has to run across town. Will Superman and Roberta reach
Tommy in time? Inspired by the 1940s Superman radio serial "Clan of the Fiery
Cross," Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese, Boxers and Saints, The Terrifics,
New Super-Man) presents his personal retelling of the adventures of the Lee
family as they team up with Superman to smash the Klan.
Writer Gene Luen Yang and artist Gurihiru's tale of the
Man of Steel's fight with the Ku Klux Clan begins in the new DC mini-series
SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN #1 (OF 3) which ships with two standard
covers and is currently scheduled to arrive on New Comic Wednesday-101619 with a
$7.99 cover price. As always it will be Alternate Reality "1st Day Sale" priced
at 25% OFF ($5.99!) on the 16th and 15% OFF for the rest of its first week of
release ($6.79) while supplies last.
