Superman: Time and Time Again

Summary: Session Timed Out
Review: The concept of time travel has been used as the spring board for many comic book stories over the years. The Man Of Steel is certainly no stranger to time hopping. Throughout his 6 and half decades, he has had many encounters in the past and future. One of the best time travel tales for the last son of Krypton is 94's Time And Time Again.

Superman is thrown through currents of time by the ruthless Linear Man. With a spotty memory, our hero finds himself going from the past to the far flung future, and back again. As he struggles to figure out what's going on...and a way home, he comes face to face with dinosaur attacks, Hitller's third Riech, King Arthur's Camelot and the Legion Of Superhereos from the future. The Tin Men and Waverider play pivitol roles in the story as well. Written by Dan Jurgens, Jerry Ordway, and Roger Stern, the story has action, daring do, a bit of a mystery, and a laugh or two. The writers wisely focus on a fun factor and seem to like the freedom time travel gave them.

The art by Jurgens, Ordway, Bob Mcleod, and others is solid enough. As usual though, in a multipart story like this, some art stands out more, and the sub par stuff act as a distraction. In this case, Ordway's stuff is tops, and Jurgens work falls to second place.

The trade paperback collects the entire story and the covers of each chapter. Series Coordinator KC Carlson provides an introduction for the epic. The book is a fun 206 page read

Summary: One of the best Superman/time travel stories ever written!
Review: This trade paperback is great for fans of time travel stories and Superman. Superman is

Only powerful explosions can send him to other eras. On his journey he saves FDR, meets Merlin the magician, encounters a dinosaur, and witnesses the destruction of .... well,

Summary: Great Time-Travel Story
Review: This was one of the first times that the post-crisis superman travelled through time, so it feels like a very fresh story. Among the periods he visits are the World War II and the far future where he walks through a museum of hte 20th Century. The JSA, The Demon, Booster Gold and some Legion of Superheroes characters are among those who make appearances.
Great art from everyone, especially Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway.
