Book Reviews of Superman: Bottle City of Kandor
Book Review: Kandor- Last City of a Lost World
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a great idea. Not only do you get the original Kandor stories from the late 50's (which you might be too young to remember) but you also get the last stories from the 70's (which you might be too old to remember.) In between you get the classic, silver age (with Supergirl, Batman and Robin, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Lori Lamar, Van-Zee, Jax-Ur, The Superman Revenge Squad, The Superman Emergency Squad, The old Fortress, Bat Hound and Night Hound, etc.) I was amazed at the number of frames and details that I remembered from first reading them. Most of it is drawn by the great Curt Swan. I remember contemplating as a child who I would rather be- the main Superman artist (Curt Swan) or the President- I chose Curt Swan.
These aren't all the Kandor related stories, but they are a nice, representative cross section from the first story to the 40th anniversary restoration. Nor are these, of course, all the Krypton related stories- that would take many volumes. However, you do have a satisfying series of tales from the post-Brainiac period.
The art and colors look better than the originals. My only complaint is a frame where the Scarlet Jungle is shown- it is green. It is called the SCARLET Jungle for a reason...
