Superman #423

In "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?", Alan Moore crafts a poignant farewell as Lois Lane Elliot reflects on Superman’s final days, ten years after his disappearance. With Curt Swan’s iconic art and George Pérez’s dynamic inks, the story unfolds through Lois’s memories—Bizarro’s sudden shift to violence, the Toyman and Prankster exposing Superman’s identity, and the Metallos’ assault on the Daily Planet. As Superman retreats to the Fortress of Solitude with his closest allies, a visit from the Legion of Super-Heroes and Supergirl brings a touching tribute, while Brainiac’s influence begins to take hold. The cover by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson captures the emotional weight of this defining moment.
