About this Item

"This wonderfully illustrated map shows Krypton - homeworld of Superman, the Man of Steel. The planet is shown divided into two hemispheres - the "New World" and the "Old World". Each presents a primary continent with scattered islands, flanked above and below by large bodies of ice in the Arctic and Antarctic zones - surprisingly close to the geography of Earth. Numbered locations within each map relate to the surrounding illustrated panels. Spectacular geographic features and technologically advanced cities are shown and labeled. Of particular interest is 'Vathlo Island - Home of [a] highly developed Black Race." Little can be found in the DC Comics Universe about this location, but it's an interesting example of how race is treated in comic canon." Sheet Width (in) 27.25 Sheet Height (in) 20.5 Condition Description Light creasing along former fold lines and tiny holes where previously affixed to the stapled binding. A bit of separation along former fold lines has been repaired on the verso with archival tape. Very good overall. Seller Inventory # 3443
