3 1/2 stars. One-off stories by Moore featuring various DC characters. Not as strong as his DC Swamp Thing run or later series where he got to completely do his own thing, but interesting and worth a read by any Moore fan. Various times you can see him playing with themes (like, you guessed it, problematic aspects of the role of superheroes in society) that are somewhat clunky here but which he later soared with.

The two Superman stories were the strongest: in one, "For The Man Who Has Everything", Superman imagines a complete contented life on a non-exploded Krypton while in the paralyzed thrall of a psychic, parasitic alien plant gifted to him by an enemy; in another, he's driven crazy by an alien fungus (flora really have it out for the Man of Steel here) and in his psychotic fugue state has a psychedelic encounter with Moore favorite Swamp Thing.
