    The Anthology of most praised writer ever in comics

    Love him or Hate him, Alan Moore is one of the most important comic creators of all time.  If he is not your favorite writer, then odds are he is your favorite writers favorite writer.  He may have not worked in the Mainstream superhero business for too long, but everything he has done for the big two has had an inpact one way of another.
     
    Pros:  This has all the snap-shots of how Alan Moore touched the DCU.  The Brian Bolland Cover is wonderful and this book is a good way for people new to the DCU to get use to the Characters that are still around today.  
     
    The Killing Joke (With the original colors), which may just be the most famous Joker Story.  Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, which is the famous farewell to Golden Age Superman.  The Man who has everything, which was turned into a TV episode in the JLA show.  Mogo doesn't socialize and Tigers which are two Green Lantern stories Geoff Johns used to inspire the sinestro corps war, which was the big event before the Mythos changing Blackes Night series.   
     
    Cons:  I honestly can't think of one for this version of the book.  It is a fair price for what is inside and I guess the only Con is the older version.
     
    Verdict: This is a Must have book!

Moore gives us stories filled with humor, crazy, strangeness and mature dialogues, making characters that I actually dislike a lot, like Superm...
