    The worst - EVER! 0

    This issue of Superman has to be the single worst I have ever read. In fact it may be the worst issue of any superhero title I've ever read. I would give it zero stars if that were possible. It seems to be a 'quickie' issue that was rushed out probably at the request of Orson Welles publicists. It features Orson Welles and Superman teaming up to stop a Martian Invasion. Still not convinced? O.K. I'll go into more detail...Welles dressed in his costume from the movie 'Black Magic' is in a car wit...
