Showcase Presents: Superman-Volume 2 is a treasure trove for us guys that grew up in the 60's. It collects stories from ACTION and SUPERMAN comics from November 1959 - April 1961. Artists Wayne Boring, Al Plastino, Kurt Schaffenberger, and Curt Swan (in my opinion Superman's best draftsman) are all featured. These are science fiction and fantasy stories that are optimistic and imaginative. You cannot buy one of the original comicbooks featured here for less than these 575 pages will cost you. This book is a bargain. Volume 3, please, DC!

Superman fan or not, all comic book fans need to buy this! But be warned, this will consume all of your time because you won't want to put it down. The stories are amazing and it doesn't matter at all that the pictures are black and white, I can't stop reading. There are so many great stories in Volume 2 that also deal with Superman's past, such as the story of how he discovered that Kryptonite hurts him. Believe, this is a fun read and it will make you a fan if you aren't already. Definitely no regrets about buying this

Wayne Boring rules!
Boring is to Superman what Kirby is to The Fantastic Four. Although he did not create the character, he created all the environment which surrounds the Man of Steel.Everything that there was in the Superman comics written in the Fifties still exists in the modern issues of today.
What Robinson did to Batman in the early Forties, Boring did to Superman in the Mid-Fifties: he polished the character the way we see him today, expanding concepts and, at the same time, defining the Man of Tomorrow the way he will always be known.
