IDW Publishing has announced the late December 2013 publication of Superman: Golden Age Sundays (MSRP $49.99), the company’s first collection of the full color Sunday Superman newspaper comics.  The first volume in the IDW series, Superman: Golden Age Sundays, will collect 170 sequential Sunday strips from May 9, 1943 to August 4, 1946, beginning its reprints exactly where the Superman Sunday Classics book published by DC and Kitchen Sink left off.
 
The Superman: Golden Age Sundays collection will be published under IDW’s Library of American Comics imprint and edited by industry vet Dean Mullaney, who is happy to be able to reprint the strips in a generous 9.25" by 12" format, "so that readers can enjoy these glorious full-color tabloids."  The World War II era stories in the first volume feature the work of legendary artists Jack Burnley and Wayne Boring, and readers should also enjoy the fact that the Superman strip took an interesting detour back to Superman’s origins as it transitioned from war to peace in 1945.
 
IDW plans to follow up with two more volumes of full color Sunday Superman reprints, one covering the 1950s Atomic Age, and another volume collecting the 1960s Silver Age strips.  Each volume in the series will feature an introduction by Mark Waid and a new cover by Pete Poplaski.
 
Superman: Golden Age Sundays joins The Library of American Comics and IDW’s line of archival DC classic newspaper strips, first started with Superman: Silver Age Dailies, which will continue into 2014,  and will also include collections of the 1940s Wonder Woman and the 1960s Batman (see "DC Strip Collections") as well.
