The Further Adventures of Superman

In the wake of all the Batman anthologies, Bantam threw in a couple more with DC hero themes. Superman is not exactly a rocket science selection, when thinking of characters to use. There are pieces here, however, by Mark Waid, Dave Gibbons, Will Murray and Diane Duane. Joey Cavalieri gives us the excellent "Mine Enemy Grows Older". Again, a collection worth having.

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.
