Description

Elseworlds: Superman Vol. 1 – a large collection featuring alternative and bold interpretations of Superman from the famous Elseworlds line.

This book invites you to look at Kal-El in very different circumstances than in the conventional DC Universe. Here you will meet Superman as the Dark Knight, Kal-El raised in the Middle Ages, the last hero to survive a nuclear Armageddon, a freedom fighter during the Civil War, an extraordinary sports phenomenon, and even a Golden Age Superman battling Mars.

Elseworlds stories allow creators to freely reimagine the legendary hero, transporting him into unexpected eras, genres, and worlds, while maintaining the essential strength of the Superman myth. This is one of the best ways to see how flexible and creatively interesting this character can be.

The collection includes several standalone stories that are perfect for long-time fans and readers who want to discover unusual versions of Superman in one book.
