Summary: A Great Grab Bag Of Superman Stories
Comment: This is a wonderful collection of misc. Superman stories. As a die hard Superman fan and a serious collector of superman comics, I am familiar with MANY Superman stories. These are definately very good ones. The best one is definately "Excerpt From The Diary Of Dr. Morris Funkelstein" by Mike Resnick. It tells the story of Clark Kent attempting to enlist in the military to fight the Nazis. If you are a fan of Superman stories these should be added to your collection.

Summary: A rather bland anthology
Comment: This anthology, edited by Martin Greenberg, showcases several tales told about Superman - arguably the most popular and well-known comic book character ever.

I picked up this anthology at a bookstore, but after finishing the book, I have some reservations about it. While several of the stories are nice, they're a bit too bland for my taste. Many of them are just sort of there; they're not really bad stories, all things considered, but there's nothing really special about them, nothing that sets them apart. They're just average, run-of-the-mill stories about Superman doing various good deeds. If you're a die-hard Superman fan, maybe that's enough. For me, it left me wanting a good deal more.

If you're a big Superman fan, and you simply MUST have anything written about the character....maybe this book is for you. Otherwise, I'd recommend against picking up this book. It's nothing horrible, it's just, unfortunately, quite average. And when there are other, better books out there written about the Superman character (such as Roger Stern's adaption of the "Death of Superman, or even certain comic book graphic novels / trade paperback such as the excellent Paul Dini / Alex Ross work "Superman: Peace on Earth" or the wonderful Jeph Loeb / Tim Sale miniseries, "A Superman for All Seasons"), I can't see justifying purchasing this particular anthology.
