''Note: This article is about the comic book. For the television series, see The Adventures Of Superman ''. ''Adventures of Superman'', sometimes '''''The Adventures of Superman''''', was a Comic Book series produced by DC Comics starring, as the title suggests, Superman . It was the continuation of the original first series of ''Superman'' comics (which began in 1939), renamed after a new ''Superman'' series was launched with issue #1 after John Byrne revamped the character in 1986. The first issue named ''Adventures of Superman'' was issue #424, dated January 1987. This followed a 3-month Hiatus of both '' Superman '' and '' Action Comics '' while the '' Man Of Steel '' Limited Series was being published. The initial team working on the renamed title was Marv Wolfman (writer) and Jerry Ordway (art). The plots of the Superman books became more and more linked over the next few years. From January 1991 to January 2002 the triangle (or shield) numbers that appeared on the cover of each Superman comic book became more important than individual title names or issue numbers. During these years the Superman story line ran like a ''. From February 2002 the integration between the Superman titles is much less tight. Though crossovers between titles are still common, it is also common to have stories contained entirely in ''Adventures of Superman''. In November 2005, DC Comics announced that the existing comic book title ''Superman'' was to be among several to be cancelled as part of the '' Infinite Crisis '' storyline, specifically as part of the "One Year Later..." event focused around the upcoming weekly series '' 52 ''. ''Adventures of Superman'', after issue #649 (dated April 2006) reverted back to being titled ''Superman'' beginning with #650 (May 2006). The ''Superman'' title, launched in 1986 as explained above, was cancelled after #226 (April 2006). The end effect is that the first volume of Superman has returned, continuing its original numbering. AWARDS Issues 501 through 503 of the series were a part of the story '' The Reign Of The Supermen '' which won the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Award for Favorite Comic Book Story for 1993. |
