Superman into the Space Age | DC Mark Russell Takes Superman into the Space Age | DC

Meet Clark Kent, a young reporter who just learned that the world will soon come to an end, and there’s nothing he can do to save it. Lex Luthor sees it and he thinks this world is on its way out, so I need to make sure I grab as much as I can and bury myself underground as deep as I can before it all implodes.

Taking place primarily in 1960s America, Superman Space: Age Book One is a brief retelling of Clark Kent’s origin, accompanied by his first major mission as Superman -- protecting humanity from itself during a nuclear standoff between The United States of America and Russia.Mike is a very rare auteur artist, and I knew that when he was onboard that this was going to be something special.

SUPERMAN: SPACE AGE | DC

Superman: Space Age is a Superman miniseries published by DC Comics under their DC Black Label imprint. It's really in that way that Lois kind of becomes the biggest influence on Superman, because he sees the courage it takes to tell the truth to power and to go out and report on wars and events without being bulletproof. It is implied that this story is set on a Pre-Crisis universe and the events in the present (1985) take place during the first Crisis. Meanwhile, Laura brings a vibrancy and brightness to the comic, complimenting the themes of hope, even in the more heartbreaking moments.Superman decides to give that world renewed hope by transporting his Earth's inhabitants' DNA structures there.
