![]() ![]() ![]() It's a fun, bizarre, kooky package brimming with creativity (fans should also attempt to hunt down Veitch's THE ONE, another odd look at superheroes). Mixed in with this are lurid and grotesque details (I'm still left wondering what purpose the scatalogical material serves, although I have some ideas), cosmic comic book stuff (True-Man literally creates himself in a wonderfully bizarre conceit), even some Grant Morisson-esque fourth-wall breaking. Thus, all aspects of the Superman myth (here "True-Man") are touched on - his creators being screwed over, his impact on comics history in general, Hollywood legends about actors who take the role, Nietzsche's concept that predates the whole thing, the public's reaction, everything. Not perfect, but definitely ambitious examination of the impact of the concept of "The Superman" and "Superman" on the unconscious of the world. ![]()
