Good Paperback for Superman Fans: The Further Adventures of Superman (Edited Martin Greenberg)

I (Rob) recently enjoyed a paperback collection of short stories about Superman in a 1993 paperback (all text only) called "The Further Adventures of Superman," edited by Martin Greenberg.

ROB'S FAVORITE STORY IN THE COLLECTION: 
One of my favorite stories was one of the shortest. It was about how an Army recruitment doctor failed Clark Kent for several reasons. One was that the doctor kept breaking needles on Clark's (Superman's) skin, so he couldn't get vaccinated, and another reason was that Clark/Superman read an eye chart in the next room, so he got a failing grade. There were several other good stories in the book, too. 

ABOUT THE BOOK: It collects ten stories by Joey Cavalieri, Mike Resnick, and eight other top writers follow Kal-El of Krypton, the native son of a dying planet, as he makes a double life for himself on Earth as reporter Clark Kent and superhero Superman.

It's a good collection of stories. NOTE: There were 2 stories in it that I just couldn't finish. I just didn't care for them.
