Summary: This is the Superman I grew up with!
Comment: As far as I'm concerned, this one graphic novel sums it all up when it comes to the excitment and singular superiority that is Superman. It would've been great as a book with no artwork, in my opinion. But, of course, the artwork really made it that much greater. However, being a true lover of sci-fi books, by the Old Masters and the Newcombers (especially cyberpunk), I really think lovers of graphic novels should also check out such greats as "Stranger in a Strange Land", "Childhood's End", "I,Robot", "Ringworld", "Redezvous with Rama", "Neuromancer", "Mona Lisa Overdrive", "Cryptonomicon", "Prey", "Snow Crash", "Cyber Hunter", and so forth. These would all make great graphic novels as well, but are great as just what they are in my opinion. Check some out.

Summary: Nice for nostalgia's sake, but stories a little bland
Comment: Having grown up in the 70s, this book features Superman stories which were new to me. These are the stories prior to Clark Kent's move to television and the creation of Morgan Edge. As the preface to the book says, many of the stories were told time and time again. It's interesting to see a time when comic books weren't always trying to be some dark statement. After all, Metropolis isn't Gotham City. This book helps you get a grasp of the changes the Superman franchise went through in the 60s, with dozens of new survivors of Krytpon, endless robots, an incredibly naive Jimmy Olsen, and a not-yet-liberated Lois Lane. Each story is "safe." Nice to look at, but if you're expecting anything of substance that you could, perhaps, ponder, hopefully a "Superman in the Seventies" volume will be coming out soon. Here you will see Clark, Lois, Jimmy, Morgan, Steve Lombard, and a less-important Perry White take on more human characteristics. Until then, this book will give you lots of super-simplistic stories that may or may not help you relive your youth.

Summary: Rick Phillips
Comment: This was a great book with only a sample of how great the 60's were to the Man of Steel. It showed how comics should be adventuresome, fun and innocent. Many famous stories like the Superman-Batman Revenge Squads and works by the greats like Jerry Siegal, Wayne Boring, Curt Swan and Neal Adams. All future comic writers & artist should have this book. Don't just sit there. Buy this book!
