Superman: The Bottle City of Kandor by Otto Binder, et al

A collection of stories about Kandor, the miniaturized city saved from Krypton before it's destruction. Superman keeps the city in his Fortress of Solitude. Most stories take place within the bottled walls of Kandor. Full color printing and illustrated by a number of people but most frequently by Curt Swan. An introduction by Eddy Zeno explains Kandor and brief summaries of each story and how it fits within the Superman lore.

I am not familiar with comics/graphic novels genre. The plots fit my memory of Superman. The illustrations were beautifully done. I admire those who can draw faces. The short length of each story would make it appropriate for readers with short attention spans. The introduction was very helpful for the uneducated in Superman lore.
