Product Description:
An unforgettable hardcover 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.

I did review this story in a previous letter, when i bought this book in his older version. Anyway, i still have the Superman #423 (1986 - last issue) and Action Comics #583 (1986) that hold the story in that time.
I have also, for the record, the first issue of Superman in Arabic, published 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon.
Again, i will say that this was a realy a novel, putting a dramatic end to the more than 40 years of Superman and all his fellows around him.
Enjoy that book, i did. ... Read More

As someone who still has the original issues of the two part "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?", I was a little surprised to see this reprinted in a hardcover edition. The original issues were intended to be the final stories of the "Silver Age" Superman before the comic was rebooted with the six part (which I have also) "Man of Steel" mini-series. Besides this, the hardcover includes two other Superman issues:
Superman Annual #11: "For The Man Who Has Everything"

Alan Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" story was an instant classic when it was first published. Finally it's given the deluxe hardcover treatment. This is a gem of a story by Moore and artist Curt Swan. Wonderfully illustrated and lavishly written. Man of Tomorrow is easily among my top-10 favorite super-hero comic stories of all time. The bonus stories that round out this tale are nothing shy of perfect. Moore and Gibbons shine in a story originally presented in a DC annual, whilst ... Read More
