International Creators Teach the Man of Steel (And Readers) About the World
If there’s one thing fans know about Superman, it’s that he doesn’t belong to any one culture. He belongs to everyone and he’s inspired creators in virtually every corner of the globe. This anthology is a great way to show what he means to comic creators everywhere and, at the same time, introduce and educate readers about other cultures. Clark Kent considers himself a student of the world, so a book that showcases the hero experiencing and learning about these cultures for himself is quite possibly the best way to honor a hero as beloved as Superman.
Superman: The Worldis available internationally on June 25th from DC Comics and others.
