Volume 24

This is Volume 24 of the "02" series. The series consists mainly of collected volumes of Marvel comics, arranged in numerical order and covering Superman-related material and serialized storylines; it is intended to be read volume by volume in sequence. As a later volume in the series, it follows the editorial format of the preceding volumes, gathering several works into one book so that readers can read them together and compare them side by side. Because the series is a numbered, continuously published collection, the contents of each volume carry over from one to the next. When reading this volume on its own, readers may first look through the table of contents and the opening notes to understand the order of the pieces included, then go back to earlier volumes to fill in the background. For readers who have followed the series to Volume 24, this volume is more like a stage in a cumulative sequence: it looks back on threads laid out earlier and leaves openings for what follows. The specific contents, author credits, and publication details of this volume are not guessed at here because reliable bibliographic data are lacking; the copyright page and table of contents of the physical book should be taken as authoritative. When reading, treat this volume as one stop in a long series and read it alongside the preceding and following volumes for a fuller experience.
