Black Mercy for Birthday 1
Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons team up to present a fantastic adventure of Superman, Batman, Robin (Jason Todd) and Wonder Woman for a celebration of the beloved Kryptonian in his Fortress of Solitude. It´s such a well writen story, where Moore captivates the reader with so many details about the main characters, exploring the inexperience of Todd meeting Superman, the friendship that bonds these characters, Batman´s witts to solve the problem, Diana´s grit and strength since she goes toe-to-toe wi...

Memorable 2
This is one of the most memorable issues in DC Comics prior to Crisis on Infinite Earths (so much so that it was made into an episode of Justice League Unlimited).

For the Man Who Has Everything: comparing Superman & Wonder Woman 0
I first read this story on my 15th birthday, when I got "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow", which had a reprinted version of this issue in it. For starters, the story is great, (you would expect any less from the great Alan Moore?)

Before Watchmen (...plus Superman and Wonder Woman kiss!!!) 0
September of 1986, saw the publication of two outstanding stories by writer Alan Moore that would resonate through the years. One, of course, was Watchmen, which changed comics forever; and the other was the Superman storyline, 'Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?', which changed Superman comics forever. Both of these featured a super-human character besieged at his final refuge in Antarctica, where his superpowered pet tries to defend him and pays the ultimate price, and ultimately ends w...
