(True) What would have been DCs first black superhero was changed at the last moment to a white hero (True) A Dutch inventor was blocked from getting a patent on a process because it had been used previously in a Donald Duck comic book (True) With many more legends resolved, Was Superman a Spy? is a must-have for the legions of comic book fans and all seekers of truth, justice, and the American way."
