A fresh fan artwork for the iconic character Superman is reminiscent of the beloved 2005 comic book series “All-Star Superman,” penned by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely and Jamie Grant. Artist Giorgio Marangolo showcased his work on Instagram, featuring David Corenswet as Superman replicating the debut cover pose of All-Star Superman. Here, Superman is seen comfortably seated on a cloud, gazing over a city with a peaceful expression, and a sunset in the distance. A notable change is the presence of Krypto, sitting calmly beside him. The movie’s writer and director, James Gunn, acknowledged taking inspiration from “All-Star Superman” during production, but this tribute takes it a step further.
On July 11th, Friday, Superman will be shown in theaters, and as we wait, enthusiasts are rereading “All-Star Superman” in anticipation. This graphic novel featured 12 issues released between 2005 and 2008, and it was a key component of a daring revamping strategy for Superman conceived by Morrison and other creators. At that time, Morrison stated that the cover image was crucial to their vision for this series, and he claimed it was inspired by an unexpected encounter with someone dressed as Superman at San Diego Comic-Con, which sparked an idea in him.
In an interview with Newsarama, Morrison described him as casually positioned, one knee raised and chin resting on his arms, giving off an aura of complete relaxation. It struck Morrison that this was the posture Superman himself might assume. Unlike other heroes who would puff out their chests or adopt heroic poses, this Superman was completely at ease. If nothing can harm him, he has no need to be on guard; he doesn’t flinch in the face of danger. He is as cool and laid-back as a man like Superman should be.
Morrison, Quitely, and their team aimed to craft a Superman tale that feels everlasting without conflicting with previous stories. They wanted the narrative to be engaging for new readers while also maintaining interest for longtime fans. The book doesn’t retell Superman’s origin or other commonly explored aspects of his life.
Nonetheless, “All-Star Superman” stands out as a distinct series, sparking curiosity among fans about its impact on Gunn’s portrayal of Superman in the DC Universe. To some, it might appear peculiar, but that could be precisely the intention. Visible disparities in the trailer suggest differences, such as an expansive roster of characters. It’s well-known that comic book films seldom replicate comic stories verbatim.
On July 11th, you can catch Superman up on the big screen. Meanwhile, “All-Star Superman” is already accessible in both printed and digital versions.
