Owner's Description

This is the Collectort's Edition of the first appearance of <i>The Man of Tomorrow.</i> The Man of Tomorrow is later referred to as Cyborg Superman. It could have been that this was truly a resurrected Superman as his cybernetic parts seemed to line up pretty closely with the wounds the Man of Steel received at the hands of Doomsday.

The four die-cut cover books were one of the first sets within this set that I pursued when starting the work on this registry set. This is one of four books that I got in a trade for Superman 75 and Adventures of Superman 500 Platinum Editions both graded 9.6.

I included a cool Cyborg Superman figure that my Wife and I pulled straight from the pegs many years ago. This was one of those instances I wasn't in a great mood to spend money but she insisted we get them all. I'm really glad we did. I haven't tracked it much but when I do see this figure up for sale, it's usually around $175.00. Mine went straight from the box, to the pegs, and right into my collection. During years of storage these were all carefully bubble wrapped so you probably won't find any in better shape.
