Product Description:
The Worlds Greatest Super-Heroes as interpreted by one of the most acclaimed authors in comics today.The work of Alan Moore (WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN) in the DC Universe during the 1980s is now considered a benchmark for great stories with fresh approaches to iconic characters.This volume collects such well-known classics as The Killing Joke and Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?

Although not Watchmen or From Hell by any means, the stories collected here are some of Alan Moore's most enjoyable. From the excellent Superman stories "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" and "For the Man Who Has Everything" to "The Killing Joke," a dark look at the cyclical Batman/Joker relationship, this collection never fails to entertain.

I bought this collection of Moore's work after having read The Watchmen. They seem to have been written by a different person than the man who wrote The Watchmen. They are certainly entertaining (as light stories, gotchas, time machines even), but they show none of the brillinace of Watchmen.

The only story that I really liked in this was Batman: The Killing Joke. That said, I am glad I bought this. That story alone is worth the price, and I got to read some superhero stories that I normally would avoid.
