Superman: Tales of the Bizarro World by Jerry Siegel
Particularly amusing in an era when facts are regularly submitted, via highly ideological media outlets, to the Bizarro World treatment. Highly recommended.
In 1986 when DC decided to revitalize their moribund Superman franchise, Alan Moore, only given the assignment after threatening editor Julius Schwartz with death, scripted the ultimate tale that ended the nearly 50 years of Superman continuity. His classic story, penciled by legendary Superman artist Curt Swan, hit all the proper nostalgic notes complete with the final Lex Luthor-Brainiac team up, the Legion of Super-Heroes, Krypto, Lana Lang, Jimmy Olsen, and of course Lois Lane. It evens ends with a wink. This deluxe hardcover edition collects two additional excellent Moore-written Superman tales: "The Jungle Line" with art by Rick Veitch and "For the Man Who Has Everything" with [b:Watchmen|472331|Watchmen|Alan Moore|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1238274511s/472331.jpg|4358649] co-creator Dave Gibbons.… (more)
This simply wasn't very good. Doesn't appear to be a very fitting end to an incredible run of more than 40 years.
The last great Silver Age Superman story, period. While other stories do more in terms of spectacle this takes the route of simplicity. While it seems corny at some parts that changes quickly. The end is something that other writers have tried to outdo but all have failed. This really is the last word on the Silver Age Superman by one of the best writers of all time. The fact that he did what he did in one comic is remarkable.
