Superman #1

March 5, 2010: Warren Ellis Challenge - Design "Superman #1" Cover

Writer Warren Ellis, best known for comics such as Transmetropolitan, Planetary and Red, often challenges readers of his blog to come up with their own art designs for different subjects. This week (starting March 2nd) he put out a challenge to design a cover for a comic titled "Superman #1".

    You are an artist/designer. You have to put together the cover for a comic called SUPERMAN. It is issue 1 of this book.

    You have been told that Superman is a man who dresses predominantly in a shade of blue, and wears a red S symbol. You know nothing else about the character.

    The cover must include a logo and the text THE COMPLETE STORY OF THE DARING EXPLOITS OF THE ONE AND ONLY SUPERMAN.

    And that's it.

    It's up to you what kind of company you're at. What kind of comics you make. How you translate that description of Superman. What era you're in. Who you are, even. Go nuts with it.

    You have one week. Go.

Check out some of the results already submitted, and possibly submit your own, at WarrenEllis.com.
