If Volume 1 of Superman: The Greatest Stories Ever Told really contained the best ever Superman yarns, by rights this really ought to be a collection of the second best. Still, amongst the wealth of Superman literature that’s on offer, there’s little doubt that one volume would never be enough to cover off all the Superman greats.
This second volume spans stories from 1944 through to 2005, featuring such writing talents as Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel, Denny O’Neil, Jerry Ordway and Greg Rucka. It’s also a great opportunity to compare and contrast the artistic style and quality of comics through the last 60 years or so.
