Superman Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow 2020

"Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" was the final page in the chronicles of the pre-Crisis Superman saga. Drawn by the legendary Silver Age artist Curt Swan (with George Perez) and written by Alan Moore, it's a fitting conclusion to the decades-long story of Superman and the major characters in his continuity. The introduction is a sly, eye-winking nod to the "imaginary stories" ("Aren't they all?" notes Moore) that peppered the Superman issues, and in an especially clever touch is the eye wink that concludes the story.Also included are "For the Man Who Has Everything" and "The Jungle Line", two stories that also helped ring down the curtain on the Silver Age tales of the Man of Steel.

A review sort of needs to address both content and physical quality.DC and Marvel both have some really superior quality hardcover collections. This is smaller than the omnibus sets, but it seems to be of comparable quality. Nice thick pages, good print quality. The paper has more of a matte finish than some of the omnibuses, but I like that.Binding is glued, but seems sturdy. I’m not worried about this book falling apart.Material: Some people probably bought this because of Alan Moore (or Curt Swan - less of a name outside the comics world, but widely regarded as one of the best artists in Superman history), not having read the stories before.Moore is someone who has always been driven to try to reinvent and reimagine, and he does that here. The resulting stories are Superman as you probably haven’t seen him before - panicked, strung-out, grappling with impending doom, etc.To me, they’re arguably not on par with some of the more recent breakouts like Grant Morrison’s All Star Superman. But they’re good, and they have Moore’s usual interesting eye for character and narrative.I’m trying to avoid spoilers, but long story short: these are probably not equal to Moore’s work in Watchmen or Killing Joke, but they’re distinctly Moore nonetheless, and if you adore his work and you love Superman, you’ll enjoy these.

A must have in your collection. If you are a fan of Superman, you will love this book. Black Mercy story was a big highlight for me.

Was a great gift for my adult son who is a huge Superman fan.

I recently found out that I grew up during the Silver Age of DC Comics (1956-1975), so doing a little research I came across this storyline, where Superman and most of his arch Williams die. DC used this story to essentially rewrite all the back stories of all their heroes after the classic Crisis on Infinite Earths.Even though the stories were campy and the art work was somewhat basic, I enjoyed taking a trip back to my childhood and reliving reading these comics when they were brought at the local five & dime store.

I read this when it first came out decades ago, I loved it then and upon reading it now, I still love it. Wonderful story and artwork has stood the test of time!. ☺

Some of Supermans best stories are contained in this book, absolutely reccomend

Great deal! Nice collectible .
