    Two of my favourite story lines come from the 70's. One was the Sand Superman arc that spanned several issues and left the Man of Steel slightly depowered. The other was a single issue story that involved the original Toyman with Superman against a new younger more annoying Toyman. I still get chills when I think of his explosive bubble-gum.

    Curt Swan was the man, I recently picked up Zemo's biography about him, and enjoyed the read and the art.

    I'll be shocked if there's anyone ever who can dethrone him.

    No matter how dark comics can or do get, Curt Swan's Superman would (and should) ALWAYS display to the reader the unparalleled joy of comic book storytelling.
