About this ebook

An unforgettable collection of WATCHMEN writer Alan Moore's definitive Superman tales that is sure to appeal of readers of his BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE graphic novel. Moore teams with Curt Swan, the definitive Superman artist from the 1950's through the 1970's, to tell the final adventure of the Man of Steel featuring his last stand against Lex Luthor, Brainiac and his other foes in "WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE MAN OF TOMORROW?". This volume also includes Moore's classic early collaboration with WATCHMEN illustrator Dave Gibbons, "FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING", in which Batman, Robin and Wonder Woman find Superman held captive by the villain Mongul in the Fortress of Solitude and dreaming of an idyllic life on Krypton courtesy of a wish-fulfilling parasitic plant known as the Black Mercy. Both tales are considered two of the top five all-time best Superman stories among fans. The rare first team-up adventure between the Man of Tomorrow and Swamp Thing, the character that first brought Moore to notoriety in the United States, is included as an additional bonus. This volume collects the two-part -Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?î from SUPERMAN #423 and ACTION COMICS #583, as well as -The Jungle Lineî from DC COMICS PRESENTS #85 and -For the Man Who Has Everything...î from SUPERMAN ANNUAL #11.

Ratings and reviews

This is a must read for DC & superhero fans alike. There's a very unique atmosphere to this tale. It's definitely a Pre-Crisis story, thus making it somewhat of a "period piece", yet it has a timeless aura to it. I don't know what to attribute this to other than the illustrations of the immortal Curt Swan– whose decades of drawing Superman defined the character, his supporting cast, and his surrounding world more than even his creators Siegel & Shuster did. Writer Alan Moore is the best there is for a reason and this story is arguably his best work on a stalwart character ever. Greater even than The Killing Joke in my own personal opinion. If you want to discover that reason for yourself, in addition to seeing the penultimate world of Superman illustrated by the longtime art duo of penciller Curt Swan & inker Murphy Anderson (aka " Swanderson") for the last time ever, then read " Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? " ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
