These are some classic wartime Superman stories. There are some cheesy tales but some good ones as well. We see Superman fighting a superpowered Luthor, Superman's first costumed villain (the Snake) and even the first appearance of Batman (as Bruce Wayne) in a Superman story.

The writing on these Superman stories shows improvement over the previous volume, which is to say that about half are somewhere between very good and dopey but fun, with the other half being some kind of bad. Two and a half stars, I guess, but GoodReads does not offer that option.

The smell of the book too though...mmmmm mate.
