Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Superman #1 is the solo debut of DC Comics (then National Comics) character Superman, published around June 1939.Unlike Action Comics, the magazine he made his smashing debut in, Superman's solo magazine is not an Anthology Comic consisting of multiple distinct characters, instead putting the spotlight entirely on Superman. The comic includes a revised version of his first story "Superman, Champion of the Oppressed" (albeit renamed to "The Coming Of Superman" with notable changes to some of the art and story), as well as four other stories; "Clark Kent Gets A Job" (which is new to the book), "Revolution in San Monte" (reprinted from Action Comics #2), "The Blakely Mine Disaster" (reprinted from Action Comics #3) and "Superman, Gridiron Hero" (reprinted from Action Comics #4).For Superman's chronological debut, see Action Comics #1.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Adaptation Expansion: While most of the comics content is reprinted from the first four issues of Action Comics, it includes a revised and expanded version of the original Superman story included in Action Comics #1, albeit renamed to "The Coming Of Superman". While most of the art is reused directly from it, some panels have been changed or thrown out. On top of that, the cliffhanger is changed to now lead directly into the very next story after it.

Ascended Extra: The villain of "The Coming of Superman", Bea Carroll, technically first appeared in "Superman, Champion of the Oppressed", but she had a very small and unnamed role in it. She gets much more panel time in this comics expanded retelling of the events, in addition to being named on-panel.
