September 27, 2007: Kurt Busiek Talks About “The Third Kryptonian”
Newsarama.com has published an interview with Superman comic book writer Kurt Busiek about "The Third Kryptonian" story set to hit shelves in Superman # -670, beginning in October. Here's an excerpt from the interview...
- Q: How far into planning your Superman run were you when you started to think about the Third Kryptonian?
Kurt Busiek: Not that far, really. The idea of another Kryptonian, hidden away on Earth and unsuspected, was something I conceived very early on. But it was just a vague idea -- and when the chance to do the "Back in Action" story fell into my lap, it just kinda naturally fell into place there and provided a sparkplug for so many other things we wanted to do that we jumped on the opportunity to plant the idea, and then went looking for the right place to pay it off. We thought we'd be getting to it sooner than this, I'll admit -- but I'm glad it's finally here, and I'm very happy with how it's coming out. Rick Leonardi has done a beautiful job.
Q: Is s/he an established character? Something that was maybe in the back of your mind for a while?
KB: A mixture, really. I don't want to give too much away. There are connections to a character DC readers have seen before, but they're grace notes more than anything else. This is a new character -- one that, in some small ways, honors a character seen in the past (and longtime Super-fans will know exactly what I'm talking about when they see the last page of part 1) -- but a new character for all that.
