Superman in the Forties Book

The stories by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster are the Easy winners here. Supes taking on corporate warmongers, corruption issues, Hitler and Stalin themselves (the classic tale "How Superman would end the war) are as good as ever. Nice to see the introduction of the toyman and the first Super-girl as well as the first Krypton origin story as told by Bill Finger. Unfortunately, the latter quarter of this collection dwells on Superman as both piece of WW2 propaganda and Ultimate Boyscout, in stark contrast with how was originally intended by his creators and a chore as to the reading itself. It would have been better for DC to use a different approach to categorize these stories instead of throwing a bunch of them for the titular period and call the day.
