Summary: Kesel's inks shine again
Comment: Karl Kesel's inks shine brilliantly again here in this edition, with previous finishers Terry Austin & Dick Giordano now being absent. I love each inker's contribution to Byrne's vision of the Man of Steel.

Highlights here for me...
*Superman 9- Joker in Metropolis! One of Kesel's best-looking inking efforts yet, I love everything about this issue.
*Action 592- Big Barda vs. Sleez. Jack Kirby's beautiful heroine encounters nastiness of the highest order.
*Action 593- Mr. Miracle to the rescue! Why are Big Barda & Superman filming something? Yikes! Blurry inks notwithstanding, this issue is famous for its controversial innuendos. And it features Darkseid too.
*Superman 10- Superman's powers out-of-whack. More beautiful inks by Kesel. Lex Luthor seems omnipresent.
*Superman 11- Mr. Mxyzptlk! Clark, Jimmy, Lois & of course, Superman meet a man who inspires random craziness.

This entire paperback is really great fun. Many memorable sequences & events- it's easily worth recommending to anyone considering a purchase. 5 stars!
