The Sunday Superman new comics remain some of the most underrated works featuring the man of Steel. Thankfully, IDW is bringing these forgotten classics to light.
This book collects three years of Sunday Comic strips and they are gloriously fun. The art by Wayne Goring is absolutely beautiful. The plots range from pure comedy (Superman) trying to babysit and take care of a house) to Science Fiction (Superman v. Aliens) to fantasy (Superman on another planet in a story that borrows from Gulliver's Travels) to addressing the serious issue of the housing shortage for post-war Veterans. Superman tries to help two small businessmen promote their new type of hot dog and gets sued over it. He plays a practical joke after a salesman states that a carpet is a "flying carpet," and then has to follow through on it and keep the flying carpet gag going as long as possible to avoid harming the buyer who benefits from his prank. He helps an academic who is experimenting with letting a little girl do whatever she wants without fear of punishment.
This book is just a delight and I'm looking forward to future volumes in this set.

Three stars or two? The first half mostly rates three. The second half mostly rates two. I fell generous today.
