I’m just glad Maggin got this many votes considering that members on the site mostly prefer Post Crisis Superman material to Pre-Crisis. That being said I’m not the biggest fan of Jurgens as a Superman writer, I think he’s a better artist than than a writer
This one was hard… Between Jurgens, Byrne and Stern, I was stumped.
I’m glad to see that Johns had alot of votes
