I could immediately tell I was in for a different, much darker, much more grounded version of Superman and it ended up being one of my favorites. Unsurprising, since Alan Moore wrote this one. I still have a hard time enjoying the 80's art style, but aside from that, this is a pretty cool story. I liked the framing of the narrative and, if anything, this was too short! Definitely wanted more, but that's almost always a compliment for me. I have this in comic format, but picked it up in hardcover as well. Alan Moore does a fabulous job with the final story of the Silver Age Superman; a far more fitting 'end of an era' story than the Silver Age might have deserved. The crossover with Swamp Thing was interesting, and might make you wonder who the greater hero might be. The third story is more average, but was adapted into the animated series, and shows a side of Superman rarely seen in the final panels. Picked this up in hardback from eBay because I found it relatively cheaply and it's a gorgeous edition of a super story. I actually think I have the separate issues in a pile somewhere but, either way, it was worth revisiting this classic storytelling and iconic artwork. Alan Moore is having maximum fun here and the inclusion of the Swamp Thing and Mongul stories show a little more of his range and willingness to get a little darker. Really pleased to add this to my collection and I'll take this last version of Superman over John Byrne's Man of Steel every time. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

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?" from SUPERMAN #423 and ACTION COMICS #583, as well as "The Jungle Line" from DC.

I come to this collection as an Alan Moore fan as opposed to as a Superman fan (never having read a Superman story before) and found all the stories to be fun and excellent examples of his early writing (although quite straightforward in comparison to some of his other work at that time). I personally really enjoyed "The Jungle Line" as I'm a big fan of Swamp Thing and felt that these two characters combined well together in the Bayou.
The actual volume itself is very nicely produced and well worth buying. ( )
