I agree with Jenny about Superman not really having any inner turmoild and not beeing accessible to the readers, but that's because I'm only really familiar with the TV shows, etc. What I have read in this thread about the Superman of the comics interests me immensely, and I am on the verge of going to a comic store to pick up some back issues (I'm especially digging the idea of an aging, grey haired supes). The only trouble is I hate trying to get into a series when there's loads going on and I don't know who's who or what's what. Maybe someone can recommend some key trade paperbacks I should read?
