Superman found my life years ago thanks to my hubby. When we both were students he used to gave me lots of comics to satisfy my voracious reading habits and Superman was one of them. So, comics and Superman of course, have a special corner in my heart.
I browse the 2013 Superman Sampler and it has great stuff you should check. It provides a really good compilation of Superman stories. This sampler shows Superman in different circumstances where the man of steel is not always a strong character, but also someone who can show how vulnerable he is. The artwrok is well thought and shows how well the artists are attune with the stories they are working with. The sampler is well organized and it provides a nice scope of what Superman is all about.
