Another fine addition to the DC Archives, but...:
DC presents us with another fine collection of entertaining Superman stories from the late 1950s. This is "check your brain at the door" silliness, but the energy and fast pace of most of these tales carries you along. As with volume 1, the reproduction, print quality and color are excellent.

Silver Age Superman goodness:
Much like "Batman: The Dynamic Duo Archives", "Superman: The Man of Tomorrow Archives" represents a jump ahead from the Golden Age material found the "Superman Archives", "Superman: The Action Comics Archives", and "Superman in the World's Finest Archives". And as with the "Dynamic Duo", there isn't any "official" reason for DC to have chosen to have done this, beyond a desire to get Silver Age material out there. Plus, let's face it, Superman and Batman have been, and ever shall be, DC Comics Big Guns.... more info
