From back cover: Fifty years ago in 1938, SUPERMAN arrived on our planet-invincible, indestructible, a super-hero's super-hero in a mild mannered disguise. In 1986, SUPERMAN took a short vacation-and was reborn, becoming a hero for today, a man who sweats for his glory, a Man of Steel with a human touch. Now, in book form for the very first time, is the original story retold-THE REMAKING OF A LEGEND FOR THE EIGHTIES-FULL COLOR THROUGHOUT! From title page: John Byrne, writer/penciller; Dick Giordano, inker; John Costanza, Letterer; Tom Ziuko, Colorist; Forward by Ray Bradbury; Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster
