Alan Moore sums up Superman

So I have been slowly reading Alan Moore's Swamp Thing.

I love it.  It is horror that builds and grows.  It has so much Romanticism that every page I expect Goethe's Faust and Mephistopheles to pop out as sexy dudes.  I guess the Demon will have to do.
It so nice to read this where the "unknown" is not some H.P. Lovecraft knockoff (though Alan did write Neonecronomicon).



But then now and then something sneaks up on you.

Ask any of my buddies and they know I like'm Superman.  Just do.  Need a reason?  Check out Grant Morrison's All Star Superman or some  J.M.S run on Superman.  People say that power corrupts, but we have an example of it not.  Power bringing out the best, making us excellent humans.  Superman is this dream, and I don't like how some people do not trust his example.

Anywho...

So, I'm reading Vol. 1 of Alan's Swamp Thing and Superman and Green Lantern show up.  The find the Floronic Man and he's lost his marbles.  Where Batman who scare him, handcuff him up, and take him off the streets Superman does what superman does best; he treats this sick man like a human being.  He takes off his cape and wraps the Floronic Man with it to keep him comfortable.

Bam!  In  five shattered panels we see what is best of Superman.  He gives a shit.  (No discredit to Hal Jordan).
