Buy the Bosko version. It is complete, and has all the cartoons. This one is not. This version also removes all the original opening title sequences that introduce audiences to the Man of Steel. For some this might be a good thing since a lot of them can get repetitive but there are variations and I prefer to have the complete original presentations.

The cover art is taken from work done by the late (At least I think he is dead.) and arguably the best of all the Superman artists, Curt Swan. Unless you count Murphy Anderson whom I understand inked Swan's work. The two were often refered to as, "Swanderson".

At first blush. the cover art is almost enough to get you to buy it but then you think, "Wait a minute, I have seen all the classic Superman cartoons". Apparently this is just another attempt to package these classic cartoons with the up dated cover art.

Don't get me wrong. The original Superman cartoons were absolutely great ! I watched them as a child on tv and loved them, I was beside myself when I was able to purchase them on VHS about ten tears ago.

By all means get the original Superman cartoons. (All sixteen of them.) Just don't expect this particular offfering to be anything new or different.

Course the cover art IS by Curt Swan,,,

I was fooled by the release date. The content of this DVD is probably from 1930's or 40's. I would not recommend to any parents unless they are looking for old Superman shows.
