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?

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.

A wide and nice assortment of characters are featured from big guns such as Superman and Batman to Vigilante, Green Arrow and the Green Lantern Corps. The highlight is probably the Superman stories which capture the Silver Age feel while at the same time infusing the stories with a modern sensibility.
