It's been quite a while since I've read anything approaching a superhero comic with any regularity. This is probably as close as I've come. Very good. I'll probably have to find and read the rest of the compilations.

The Secret Files of the Diogenes Club, copyright 2007 by Kim Newman; MonkeyBrains Books; ISBN 1-932265-27-9.
A delightful collection of alternative reality tales from Kim Newman. I wish the predecessor was available for a reasonable price.

Strange Itineraries, copyright 2005 by Tim Powers; Tachyon Publications, 1st edition 2005, 3rd printing; ISBN 1-892391-23-6.
The back proclaims “The Complete Short Stories of Tim Powers”; I rather hope they're wrong, as I'd love to read more short stories by Powers.
