[2] Tomorrow's Man was initially edited by William Bunton, who went on to work for competing magazine VIM in May 1954.

[3] The magazine included short articles about exercise and nutrition, and was ostensibly aimed at young men wishing to improve their physique.

[5] According to a 1965 article in Drum magazine by editor Clark Polak, Tomorrow's Man went from distributing "a few hundred" copies of its first issue to having monthly sales of 100,000 within its first two years.

[6] Polak described Tomorrow's Man as being among the most "conservative" of the physique magazines, and thus resistant to being pulled from newsstands, compared to competing publications (particularly those published by Lynn Womack's Guild Press), which attempted to push the limits of lewd content.

The editorial in the August 1955 issue, signed by new editor-in-chief Paul Lange, announced that the magazine would no longer exclusively promote the "Irvin Johnson system" of bodybuilding.
