The Kents TPB (DC Comics) (about Clark Kent's adopted family ancestors)

As a Superman fan, and a fan of westerns, I had to pick up the Trade Paperback of "The Kents." It's about the history of Clark Kent's adopted father's family history going back to the 1850s, detailing how they got to Kansas. I read three chapters (of the 12) into it, but although I loved the story, the book was narrated by a "diary" and the "diary" sections were in 2 or 3 point typeface, making them almost impossible to read... so sadly, I had to give up and flip through the rest of it. Looks like a great story, but the editor should have been more mindful of the size of the type. (If you can read type that small, go for it!)  Today's blog is about the story: 

ABOUT THE STORY (In my words):  It explores how the Kent family, Clark Kent's adopted family, came from the east coast to Kansas in the 1850s, and how they were abolitionists who met with harsh and violent opposition for their views on equality.

  The book also has very brief cameo appearances from ScalpHunter and Jonah Hex. Wild Bill Hickok is featured in much of the story as he befriends the Elder Kent's son.

ABOUT THE BOOK:  This Superman - "The Kents" trade paperback is published by DC Comics. This collects comic book issues number 1 through 12, the whole series of the Kents that was printed in the late 1990s. The book features the work of renowned writer John Ostrander.
