For a lot of different looks, you can check out Superman: Man of Steel, the Superman: Chronicles collections, and Showcase Presents: Superman. I’d also look for Superman for All Seasons, and the suggestions above.

I concur with the praise for “It’s Superman!” by Tom De Haven. I’d also suggest “Kingdom Come” by Mark Waid and Alex Ross along with “Superman: Peace on Earth” by Paul Dini and Alex Ross.

Also any of Grant Morrison’s “JLA” run will provide you with plenty of Superman goodness.

It’s Superman! by Tom De Haven is a WONDERFUL recent novel chronicling a young Superman’s adventures in the 1930s. De Haven stuffs the thing with ’30s cultural references, and it’s incredibly well-written and engaging.

As far as actual comics go, the current Cooke/Sale Superman Confidential arc is a really good one. And I’ll second the Byrne and Moore stuff, most of which has been collected in one form or another.

I guess I have to state the obvious…Byrne’s Man of Steel mini-series (as well as his early issues of Superman paticularly # 2 and # 9) and Alan Moore’s Whatever Happened To The Man of Tomorrow. If you can try and pick up any of the Gil Kane Action Comics from the early-eighties…there’s some fun stuff there. Plus get a copy of Action Comics # 544-when Luthor and Brainic get their new looks…that’s a comic I’ll never forget.And as an addendum to ‘Miracle Monday’ try and find DC Comics Presents annual # 2 with a great appearance by “Superwoman”. For some reason I loved those issues.

You want a Superman must-read? The novel ‘Miracle Monday’, by Elliot S. Maggin, published back in the ’70s. I think the text of it is supposed to be available online someplace, but if you can’t find that you should be able to track the paperback down used without too much trouble.
