Wrong book

I ordered superman and what I received was "greatest BATMAN stories ever told". I need this book for a college course and the semester has already started. I am very unhappy. The picture you post should be of the book you have. How do you confuse superman for batman? Unbelievable!

The Greatest Superman Stories of all time.

This is the first tradepaper back I ever bought in my life back in 1990,and definitely one of the best.I still read it every now and then.It has some amazing stories dating back to 1939 up until 1987.It shows how Superman has evolved thru the years and why he remains a true American icon today.This volume is a must have for any serious collector.You won't be dissapointed. I highly recommend this book.

Great intro to the Superman comics

This was recommended to me on The Daily Planet forum for people who are just getting started and interested in learning about Superman. It was recommended to me that I read this one FIRST as well as DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore. If you are wanting to learn the mythos of Superman this is the way to go.

Great

Another great collection of Superman stories. This collection offers a wide variety of tales, ranging from early stories to those told during the Superman re-launch in the mid-80's. All were great, and really show the quality of the character and creators who have made the character such an icon. When read in one volume you can really see how the character has evolved yet still maintained the qualities of heroism over the years. Highly recommended.Highly recommended.

excellent book

this book has the best collection of superman stories ever. It is a must-buy.

Excellent Complilation of Superman Stories

This is a must-buy for Superman fans. If you are remotely interested in super-hero comics, this book is for you.It is over 330 pages of some of the finest comic books ever written about Superman. There is a forward by John Byrne and an introduction by Mike Gold.This book reprints some of Superman's greatest adventures, featuring such characters as Lex Luthor, Superboy, Bizarro, Batman, and Mr. Mxyztplk. The stories range from 1940 to 1986, which means you will read about the Golden Age Superman to the Modern Age Superman.
