A cover blurb on All*Star Superman Volume 1 by Grant Morrison + Frank Quitely reads, "A stirringly mythic, emotionally resonan and gloriously alternative take on the Man of Steel." And that captures it in a nutshell. These stories work in all the elements any long-time reader of Superman will know (some I didn't know about, but they were used in an allusive way). Very creative writing and art. I do think you have to know the back story at least a little, and like comic books, to appreciate it. ****
