If so, you can say you don't like the collection, but you can't call it incomplete. It's supposed to be Superman by Gil Kane.

You would think they could learn something from Marvel's great example when it came to collected editions - or, if they had any questions on what should/shouldn't be included in a collected edition, just visit boards like this - where the consumers/collectors like us offer free feedback...

Unlike Marvel, DC basically needs to renegotiate their reprint fees with the individual creators (or their estates) involved in order to reprint work from that time period. Doing it on an artist-by-artist basis is probably more efficient for them, especially given that some of these creators are no longer alive.

I think GLC 1-5 is supposed to be Green Lantern Corps: Recharge 1-5, which Johns co-wrote. While I'm not thrilled about the lack of GLC either, I think it still works nicely as a collected format. Either way, I'm picking it up. Huge fan of that run.
