Comment
The Adventures of Superman #596 hits newsstands on September 12, 2001. The cover features the quintessential Superman image - Clark Kent ripping off his shirt, revealing the glorious Superman symbol.In contrast to the image on the cover (and that on the reverse of the coin), the caption on the front page states that the task at hand is not Superman's responsibility. The trailer for the story entitled "Shipbuilding" alludes to Superman's state of mind in The Adventures of Superman Vol. 1 #596. After the tragic Imperiex War, many wonder why Superman seems unwilling to participate in global rebuilding efforts. When Superman prevents a weather disaster and saves a construction worker, President Lex Luthor asks him directly why he doesn't do the rebuilding himself. Superman explains that he came to the conclusion that it wouldn't make sense to do everything for mankind. What would be the lesson?
The ideal gift for Superman collectors and admirers. Order your piece today, before they're all gone!

The adventures of Clark Kent, Superman's true identity, have captivated millions of readers and movie fans since 1938. Near Smallville, Kansas, Jonathan and Martha Kent find a baby from outer space, rescued from the destruction of Krypton, its home planet. The couple raise the child as their own, instilling in him profound values and convictions that will lead him to use his superhuman powers in the service of good. As an adult, Clark passes for an affable journalist in the big city of Metropolis, but as Superman, his battles against the worst villains make him a powerful symbol of bravery, strength and justice.
