I've kind of wrapped up the history of Superman's Newspaper strip, at least for now, so today's info section is instead going to be links for places you can track down these hardcover collections I've been rambling about, at as cheap of price as possible. After doing some searching at a number of sites, it looks like generally Amazon is the best way to go for getting these hardcover collections of Superman's Newspaper strips at a hearty discount. And the best part about going through Amazon is, the awesome Two True Freaks Network that I've mentioned so many times gets a kickback. It doesn't cost you anything and goes a long way to keeping that fine network of podcasts up and running. All of the links post below have already been routed through the Two True Freaks referral link, so all you have to do is click and buy!
