"I don't love Alan Moore's work (well, I love some of it, but I don't subscribe to the theory that he's the best writer of comics ever), and there are some stories in this volume that are simply decent. I don't know that any are bad, but they're not all spectacular. However, there are a few classics, and enough lesser known works that are interesting, if nothing else, to make this worth reading."
