comparatives and superlatives
 
Please what is the comparative and superlative forms of "good-looking": more good-looking than/ the most good- looking or better-looking than/ the best looking? which one is correct?

I would say: John is better-looking than Wayne and Stephen is the best-looking employee.

Although I have an impression that the other two can also be used.

I hope I �ve helped

Cheers

Comment from my husband (a native English speaker):
good looking
Comparative: better looking
Superlative: best looking

good, better, best vs bad, worse, worst

Julia - You would say better-looking.  Just like if something is "good," the comparative is "better" rather than "more good."
