Authors@Google Presents Larry Tye: Superman: The High-Flying History of America's Most Enduring Hero


Nearly every boy who grew up watching Superman cartoons and movies, or reading Man of Steel comic books probably wanted to be Superman at one point or another. He was the strongest, fastest, most honest man on the planet (although not from this planet), and his only weakness was a green rock from Krypton, his home planet.

Author Larry Tie has written a history of Superman, Superman: The High-Flying History of America's Most Enduring Hero, and recently spoke about his book at Google (Cambridge).

You can read a short excerpt over at WBUR's Here and Now site.
