BCsPage.com - Comic Collection - Superman

Maintained for and by Bob Cooley (me!)

 

I tend to like the epic Superman stories- 3 part imaginary novels painted on a broad canvas. Otto Binder expanded the Superman ethos in the early 60s with three key ideas: The Phantom Zone, the Bottle City of Kandor, and the Imaginary Story. These three elements tied Superman to his tragic past in a vivid, melodramatic way that allowed for a depth and richness his stories had heretofore lacked. (Wow- that's clumsily written... but I'm in a hurry. Clean it up later. Maybe.)  

The 1st few are readers I grabbed for a song, the quality of the books goes up significantly from 129 on. The Annual #1 is gorgeous.
