Very nice collection of these early Golden Age stories. A nice time trip read. Recommended

There is still a certain amount of fun in these stories, but all the verve and raw energy of the late 30s and early 40s Superman is gone by this point. The formula is set like concrete. Even the "Lois Lane, Girl Reporter" strips have gone to the wayside, which were the best parts of the previous two Golden Age Omnibus volumes. I already have GA Vol. 7, but I feel no urgency to read it after laboring through this book.

Seeing Superman's iconic cast of characters start to take form in their early forms is certainly interesting, and almost humorous, but the real star of this volume is the stories. As things begin moving into the late 1940's, Superman's accepted status quo leads to some classic, and timeless, stories.
