Reviews

[Little Timmy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very nice collection of these Golden Age stories. Fun and entertaining read from the beginning of Comic books. Recommended

[Michael P. · Rating 3 out of 5]

I must feel generous today. This book deserves two and a half stars, not the three I gave it, so I rounded up instead of down. There are some terrible stories and some that a fun. Many fall between these extremes and are good for about seven pages then turn deeply stupid. This means that the Superman comic book is slowly improving.
