My fondness makes it possible to laugh at the ludicrousness of the stories without leaving completely insulted. Because the stories are bad. Amusing, but bad. They are starting to bulk of the rogues in this volume, with less silly gangster-puzzle stories, but there's way too much Kandor, Krypto and Supergirl. Superman's more franchise than character in some of the stories. The second has a slightly goofy ending, Showcase Presents Superman: Volume 3 the story up to that point is incredible. They also use Luthor, Brainiac and the Legion of Super-Villains repeatedly to give Superman some marginally decent threats.

Like all 60's DC Comics, Superman was a struggling bunch of one shot goofball stories. They always wrap up in one issue, they always leave everyone intact, they always suck. There are some interesting spots in here. I lot Kurt Schaffenberger's goofy art that looks much more appealing than Curt Swan's pseudo-realistic muck. But Kurt and also good Al Plastino draw less than Swan. I wish the goofiness in this, as bad as it was, was more severe. It'd be fun to read a story where Superman loses all his Like all 60's DC Comics, Superman was a struggling bunch of one shot goofball stories. It'd be fun to read a story where Superman loses all his powers and the Showcase Presents Superman: Volume 3 turns pink, etc. More often, so much of the universe is so static. Perry White has to be talking to Jimmy and Lois about a scoop, Lois needs Superman's love, doesn't get it, etc. Pure repetitive drivel. An improvement over the Vol. Jul 24, Ben rated it really liked it. More 60's Superman fun, with Lois Lane and Lana Lang engaged to Hercules and Samson, though the girls Showcase Presents Superman: Volume 3 the heroes away with their "feminine" behavior! But there's also a turn in this collection, with a couple stories more serious, like the one where Superman is made a blind, powerless slave on an alien world.
