Collecting Issues is Back! Join Mick and Ben as they work their way through 'All Star Superman' by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, and Jamie Grant.
This episode explores the 12-issue series' themes, characters, and narratives, emphasising its Silver Age influences and the humanisation of Superman. We examine introspective moments, Superman's vision quest, and his ultimate sacrifice, drawing parallels to mythological symbols while discussing Lex Luthor's transformation and moral complexity. The cultural significance of Superman and the comic’s standalone impact on modern storytelling are highlighted. Engaging with listeners, we invite feedback and recommendations and preview our next read, 'The Nice House on the Lake.' Whether a long-time fan or new to the series, discover why this remains one of Superman’s defining stories.
Our October read is: The Nice House on the Lake by James Tynion IV and Alvaro Martinez
