Customer Reviews
Don't buy this, buy DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore
This is basically the same as DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore (DC Comics) but without The Killing Joke (although this is not the Brian Bolland recoloured version that was published in 2008). So for value for money, buy that not this.
Alan Moore's Early DC Work Collected
This is an excellent collection of mostly Alan Moore’s early work for DC. The two Superman stories are the highlights, but the rest of the stories are very good as well. Most of the one off tales are similar to the future shocks and time twisters Moore wrote for 2000AD with surprise endings. The artwork is excellent throughout and there’s a nice introduction from Moore collaborator Dave Gibbons. Highly recommended.
