The Superman Chronicles is the name of a series of trade paperbacks from DC Comics, intended to reprint all Superman stories chronologically (based on publication date) from his earliest appearances. Four volumes have been published to date, and a fifth has been announced. Stories are reprinted in color with no ads.

  • The Superman Chronicles: Volume One collects material from: Action Comics # 1-13, New York World's Fair #1, and Superman #1, from 1938-1939.
  • The Superman Chronicles: Volume Two collects material from: Action Comics # 14-20, and Superman #2-3, from 1939-1940.
  • The Superman Chronicles: Volume Three collects material from: Action Comics # 21-25, Superman #4-5, and New York World's Fair (1940) from 1940.
  • The Superman Chronicles: Volume Four collects material from: Action Comics # 26-31 and Superman #6-7 from 1940.

The Superman Chronicles, along with its counter part The Batman Chronicles, provides a unique opportunity for readers to have access to original Golden Age comic book stories, many of which have not been reprinted before. These TPBs collect chronological runs of stories from several comic magazines to provide a unique insight into the development of these two iconic characters, as they grew into the heroes we know today.
