I have a few of Alan Moore's major comic book works around the house already: "V for Vendetta," "Watchmen," "The Killing Joke" and "Saga of the Swamp Thing," among others.
This volume is a collection of other stories he wrote for DC Comics, and not surprisingly, given the author, there are some real gems in here. Stories include items like "For the Man Who Has Everything," where we get to see how Superman imagines life might have gone if Krypton hadn't exploded; a couple Green Lantern short stories, including one that illustrates the difficulty of recruiting corps members from species that have no concept of light or color; and a Batman annual where the villain Clayface has to deal with his wife's infidelity. (Apparently she's been seeing Batman on the side.)
There's not a single story in this collection that I didn't enjoy.
