Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?

Anthony and guest Ed Gross (VOICES OF KRYPTON podcast and forthcoming book) dig into the classic coda to the Silver Age Superman, examining whether the story was a fitting farewell to that iteration of Superman and to the character generally.

Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast on Superman
I have been a Superman fan for decades and this is the best podcast I have heard on the character! The host and his guests provide a fun and informative discussion. They cover aspects and eras of Superman from throughout the 80+ years of the character. I always learn a lot and cannot recommend the podcast highly enough!
Great podcast about all things Superman
Superman is one character I haven’t dove too deep into, but listening to Anthony talk about Superman has me wanting to read a lot more! Great podcast with entertaining content and guests.
Must-listen for Superman fans
I came across this show and quickly binged all the episodes. Anthony and his guests do a great job of exploring the history of Superman and it's made me re-evaluate some of my own Superman opinions. As an example, I never had any intention of reading the Golden Age Superman comics, but after listening to the episode on it, I decided to check them out.
