I was talking about the "Whatever happened to the man of Tommarow" by Alan Moore Oh, it totally was...but it was very well done. Clever, as Moore usually was.

Do you think Neil Young could do the soundtrack to the book?

The first two years of Justice League are comedy gold. Plus, I love, love, love his scratchy, blocky art, before he got ULTRA blocky in the 90s. That said, his Legion of Superheroes he did with the Bierbaums (1989) are haunting and wildly underrated. And he gets the credit for Lobo's popularity as well.

GeeksAreMyPeeps Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I know the initial request was for stories older than Man of Steel, but the Lex Luthor backup story in Superman #9 is a gem. Brandon Shepherd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is! It was reprinted in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman TPB in ‘94, which of course I got when it came out. I was disappointed to see it was not included in the Man of Steel TPBs that were released in the 2000s. Hopefully it will be included in the upcoming Man of Steel Omnibus release next year.

camera73 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 My ABSOLUTE favorite story, and sadly one that no one has ever mentioned in any Copper thread that I've ever seen is: Superman #400 "The Anniversary Issue" from 1984 I've been reading and re-reading it for the last 30 years and it still gets me kinda misty. For some really fun and off-the-beaten-path stories, check out the Superman Family series...or is that solid BA?

True - it's a bunch of short stories, but there's a bit of a through-line, where some far future reporters are looking back on Superman's history and legacy. I like them all and the overall arc as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 One of my favourites was always Superman #300, with a sort of “What if Superman landed on Earth today?” story, meaning he grows up in the future. I liked Superman #400, but to me it tried to replicate the magic of #300 and fell a little short... Brandon Shepherd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
