DC Universe by Alan Moore #[nn]

This handsome DC Comics collection gathers Alan Moore's DC Universe stories — the author of Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and The Killing Joke at his most imaginative. Frazer Irving's cover assembles a sweeping cast of DC's finest: Superman looming large at the top with his iconic crest, Batman sweeping in from the left, Wonder Woman wielding her lasso at center, a glowing Green Lantern crackling with emerald energy, and a crowd of heroes and villains filling the foreground in vivid cosmic color. At $24.99, it's a generous 2013 package of some of the most thoughtful superhero writing Moore ever produced for the DC Universe.
