6/7/2023 0 Comments Superman smashes the klan 1With Superman, our second protagonist is Roberta Lee - a second-generation Chinese-American who, along with her parents and brother, move from Metropolis’ Chinatown, to what appears to be the Suburbs. If you know your Superman history, you’ll know that Superman couldn’t fly back then - Yang gives a couple of nods to this in the comic - but could only leap “20 stories”. The comic is set in 1946 Metropolis and because of this, Yang chooses to portray Superman with the power set that he had in comics back then. After reading this first issue, my answer was given to me: with tact and a clear cut reason why Superman is the good guy and why the Klan are not.įor those who may not know, this is a story adaptation of the Superman serial “The Clan of the Fiery Cross” and Yang and Gurihiru do it justice. Before this comic came out, I was very curious to see how the team of Yang and Gurihiru would tackle the subject matter of Superman going up against a fictionalized version of one of the historically large hate groups in the United States.
