Every comics fan has a book that rewired their brain. For Case Aiken, it was The Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told. This sprawling collection introduced him to decades of Superman history, from the rough edges of the Golden Age to the glorious weirdness of the Silver Age and classics like For the Man Who Has Everything. Years later, its influence can still be felt in Men of Steel, Trade School, and the way Case thinks about Superman itself.
