“Maniacally brilliant.”

- THE NEWYORKTIMES

GRANTMORRISONwith FRANK QUITELY

Two of the comics industry’s top creative talents,

writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely,

redefine the Man of Steel for a new generation.

“A stirringly mythic, emotionally resonant, andgloriously alternative take on the Man of Steel."

- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“Taking the Man of Steel back to his roots

and into the future at the same time,

ALL-STAR SUPERMAN is exciting, bold andsupercool. ..all the makings of a classic.”

-VARIETY

“The most enjoyable incarnation of Supermanin almost 30 years...”

-THE ONION

“Quitely’s finely detailed art style andMorrison's sensationally cerebral and witty

storytelling have taken this simple

re-imagining of Superman’s life andmade it a must-read series.”
