The Superman Philosophy
The Superman Philosophy Review
The Superman Philosophy Overview
In 1957 while exploring the jungles of Guatemala, archaeologist Roger McTavish discovers a set of monuments apparently erected by Alvaro Manchez, an ancient Mayan leader and philosopher known as the Superman. McTavish translates the inscriptions carved on the monuments, and shortly after, disappears. Forty years later, a young couple connected to McTavish finds his translation, and they begin to reveal the Superman's ideas while the Guatemalan Army tries desperately to prevent them. The Superman Philosophy sets off a cloak-and-dagger train of international plotting and intrigue as American intelligence and an international secret society mount a campaign to suppress its publication. When the world's leading philosophers fail to refute the Philosophy, the story moves through a welter of terrorism, blackmail and betrayal towards its climax and the inevitable fate of the Superman Philosophy.

Siegel and Shuster's Funnyman: The First Jewish Superhero, from the Creators of Superman
Siegel and Shuster's Funnyman: The First Jewish Superhero, from the Creators of Superman Review
This book aspires to show the cultural influences that shaped Siegel and Shuster's Funnyman comic. It succeeds and then some. It also shows the forces behind the creation of Superman and the struggle Siegel and Shuster went through to create their visions. The essays are well written, insightful, original and enlightening and the graphics are AMAZING! This is a great book for any Superman fan or Judaica and vaudeville history buff.

Siegel and Shuster's Funnyman: The First Jewish Superhero, from the Creators of Superman Overview
Here is a kaleidoscopic analysis of Jewish humor as seen through Funnyman, a little-known super-heroic invention by the creators of Superman. Included are complete comic-book stories and daily and Sunday newspaper panels from Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s creative fiasco.
Siegel and Shuster, two Jewish teenagers from Cleveland, sold the rights to their amazing and astonishingly lucrative comic book superhero to Detective Comics for 0 in 1938. Not only did they lose the ownership of the Superman character, they also agreed to write and illustrate it for ten years at ten dollars per page. Their contract with the DC publishers was soon heralded as the most foolish agreement in the history of American popular culture.
After toiling on workman’s wages for a decade, Siegel and Shuster struggled to come up with a new superhero, one that would right their wrongs and prove that justice, fair-play, and zany craftsmanship was the true American way and would lead to ultimate victory. But when the naïve duo launched their new comic character Funnyman in 1947, it failed miserably. All the turmoil and personal disasters in Siegel and Shuster’s postwar life percolated into the comic strip.
This book tells the back story of the unsuccessful strip and Siegel and Shuster’s ambition to have their funny Jewish superhero trump Superman.

Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? (Deluxe Edition)
Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? (Deluxe Edition) Review
Everything has a beginning, and everything has an end...generally speaking. Comic fans are well aware of Superman's beginnings. He was believed to be the sole survivor of a planet facing doom, whose parents sent him off in a last-ditch effort to give him a chance to live and do good with his life. He landed on Earth and was adopted by a human family. His species had attributes like superpowers on our planet, and he dedicated his life to using those powers to protect the people of Earth.
But Alan Moore was tasked in 1986 with writing an "imaginary story," the "last" story of Superman, unofficially moving forward in time and giving Superman an end. The two-part story Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? is collected for the first time in the hardcover edition to coincide with the release of Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
Moore created the "last" Superman story not by directly telling of his demise in the present, but moving forward to a point where the world has already become one without a Superman. A statue stands in memorial to his service on Earth, and things seem to be getting along okay following his legacy. A journalist named Tim Crane, from The Daily Planet, arrives at the home of Lois Lane...or Mrs. Lois Elliot, as she is now married to a middle-aged guy graying around the sides. Crane is writing a story called "The Last Days of Superman" and asks Lois to recount the end of Superman's story.
In the flashback tale, Superman returns from a mission in outer space to find pure carnage on Earth, seemingly carried out by Bizarro Superman. Others are involved, though. Clark Kent is exposed as Superman, and loved ones pay a big price due to the revelation. This unfolds into a much larger plot featuring a veritable who's who of Superman's friends and foes. The legendary hero is forced into making a decision that isn't characteristic of Superman and seemingly walks off into the sunset for good. That's it as far as the reporter knows, but Moore leaves the readers with a little something extra, a wink.
Moore handles the entire story with respect for the Superman franchise and fills it out with plenty of references to the character's history. With his skillful writing, it becomes not only an interesting "what if" finale for the Man of Tomorrow, but a walk down memory lane of Superman history, a testament to the character and a great farewell that lets readers in on something special.
This is enhanced by the fact that if anyone's interpretation of Superman was the one for the history books, it would be that of Curt Swan. Every character and every scene is incredibly detailed by Swan. The action is dynamic and engaging, but all the while it has a classic feel to it, thanks in part to the traditional color palette and also because this Deluxe Edition is reprinted on the old style of paper and ink, rather than the modern glossy pages.
The Deluxe Edition includes two more stories by Moore--"The Jungle Line" and "For the Man Who Has Everything." The first takes another character Moore was famous for resurrecting, Swamp Thing, and puts Superman in his realm. An alien spore actually inflicts Superman with an illness that could kill him, and it's up to Swamp Thing to aid him in his time of need. In the latter, several other DC characters come to visit Kal-El on his birthday, only to find him incapacitated by some sort of plant attachment. Both stories are entertaining reads.
It's a nice collection, produced in the same manner as its Batman counterpart, so the two will look quite good on the shelf together. Under the dust cover, the hardcover book is done with a nice black cover with an imprint of the Superman "S" in the center. For old fans or new, Moore's story still resonates today, and even the most skeptical of Superman fans will find a few entertaining stories to read in this collection.
-- William Jones
Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? (Deluxe Edition) Overview
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.
