I never read many comics as a kid. I guess I skipped them and went straight to novels. But I think I missed a lot. Friends later introduced me into to them and now I'm starting to find they're a lot more complex than I thought. Alan Moore is an excellent example of a writer that gives comics a lot more than one would except. This collection has not only his famous Killing Joke but also the near equally famous Superman ultimate ending. The others are also quite good and show a depth of character many may not have realized could be found in this medium.

“I am but a stranger ... as we all are. Lonely inside our separate skins, we cannot know each others pain and must bear our own in solitude. For my part, I have found that walking soothes it; and that, given luck, sometimes we find one to walk besides us ... at least for a little way.- The Phantom Stranger ('Footsteps', secret origins no 10)”��- DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore.
