Collects KURT BUSIEK'S ASTRO CITY, VOL. 1 (#1-6) & VOL. 2 (#1-12, #1/2)

The second one:
Collects ASTRO CITY vol 2 #13-22, ASTRO CITY: LOCAL HEROES #1-5, ASTRO CITY SPECIAL #1, portions of 9-11 - THE WORLD’S FINEST COMIC BOOK WRITERS & ARTISTS TELL STORIES TO REMEMBER #2 and ASTRO CITY: A VISITOR’S GUIDE

I hate how comics get organized--does the above encompass the entire run? Or what trades are equivalent to each volume? It sounds like the first volume is 18 or 19 single issues compiled, which seems like I may already have represented in the 6 or 7 trades I have already. But most likely I'll be missing something and need to get it anyway.

It’s not the entire run, but it does appear to be in chronological publication order to the best of my recollection. It looks like this is an attempt to collect the entire series.

I know it's pretty much the only way secret identities work but I wish Superman wouldn't be so blase about telling people he's actually Superman while wearing his Clark Kent disguise. Or is it the other way around, it depends on the writer if Superman is Superman or if Superman is a costume Clark Kent puts on.

Yeah, the rule of a good Superman story for me is usually 'Clark Kent is the person, Superman the constructed identity' and the reverse for Batman.

The boy needs some guidance, Shazam? Perhaps the IMMORTAL WIZARD WHO HOLDS ALL THE MAGIC IN THE UNIVERSE IN BALANCE and has the WISDOM of SOLOMON and has been FIGHTING EVIL for FIVE THOUSAND might be able to give the 13 yo boy a few tips? Hmm?
