Writer: Alan Moore
Artist: Curt Swan
Year: 1986
Writer: Grant Morrison
Artist: Frank Quitely
Year: 2005-2008
"The three seem uninterested in subverting the familiar tropes and scenery-chewing gestures of Superman stories; Morrison and Quitely simply execute them with elegance, wit and atomic precision. The plot can be read as a straightforward adventure story, in which the Man of Steel must complete 12 great labors before he expires from a solar overdose. (The labors are never quite enumerated; that’s not the important part.) But nearly every visual detail and line of dialogue has some subtler implication or resonance that emerges on rereading. The final twist is so clever that Morrison doesn’t sully it by explicitly revealing it on the page; it takes a little while after the story has ended for it to sink in." - Douglas Wolk, The New York Times
