Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, first appeared in 1938 in Action Comics No. 1. The story, scripted by veteran film, television and comic writer J. Michael Straczynski, whose previous work includes DC's "The Red Circle" books and Marvel's Thor and Fantastic Four, has its roots in the current issue, No. 700. In it, Superman asks The Flash whether he actually sees the people he's protecting as he barrels across the country at supersonic speeds. "When I'm running flat-out, I see what I figure you see when you're flying up there at several bazillion times the speed of sound," the speedster replies. "I see a blur. Unless I make an effort to see the details." Superman's decidedly slower-than-a-speeding-bullet walkabout officially starts with issue 701, which goes on sale next month, and lasts through issue 712. ___ Online:
