Superman's Metropolis — Roy Thomas

Forget Tim Burton's Batman, just think about Fritz Lang's Superman. That's right, writers Jean-Marc Lofficier and Roy Thomas and edgy expressionist artist Ted McKeever present an "Elseworlds" story in which Clark Kent and Superman inhabit the world of Lang's Metropolis. Even if you're not familiar with the Lang film, this book is worth it for the stunning and creepy McKeever art, presented in full color on high-quality, glossy paper.
