With heartfelt nods and winks to legendary tales, writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely remind us why Superman is the most renowned character in comic book mythology in this deluxe edition.

All Star Superman: The Deluxe Edition transports readers into the adventures of Superman: topsy-turvy madness on the backwards Bizarro planet, a bottled city that proves you can never go home again, a living sun hell-bent on destroying humanity, and a world without the Man of Steel. The narrative covers twelve impossible labours with mere moments to save the Earth.

The multiple-award winning All Star Superman is an eternal story true to the greatest character from the golden age of comics. Witness the timeless iconβ€”the Man of Steelβ€”in action in this deluxe collection of excitement and acclaim.

Featuring all the classic characters like Lex Luthor, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, and Bizarro, this deluxe edition collects issues #1-12 of All-Star Superman and Absolute All-Star Superman.
