That’s the good news.
The bad news is that, twelve weeks in to the run, the 1/3 page Sundays drop to 1/4 page size… just about the same size as one of the dailies. Also, although the line work on the Sunday strips is crisp and clear, the line work on the dailies is murky and indistinct. At the size they’re reprinted, I really expect to be able to “get between the lines,” but as it is, the size just exacerbates the problem. Furthermore, given Roy Thomas’ highly detailed introductions to the collections of his Conan comic book stories, this collection has no supplementary text material at all.
The stories are typical of what one would expect (including an origin story and a lengthy Red Sonja continuity), but given the shoddy reproduction of this volume, I can’t even recommend it to hardcore fans. This is a true disappointment given the usual high quality of Dark Horse reprint collections.

World's Greatest Superheroes began as a Justice League strip and featured the full team at the start; it gradually shifted focus to telling stories about Superman only. There are some samples of it here at The Speeding Bullet.
