July 18, 2011: Another Look at New "Action Comics #1"

Superman in Action Comics The New York Post has published an article about the relaunch of the DC Universe of comic books, which includes a never-before-seen image of Superman, which is supposedly an alternate cover for "Action Comics #1". The article also includes new quotes from writer Grant Morrison on the relaunch...

    While most of the titles, including "Batman" and "Green Lantern," will showcase DC's iconic heroes when they're well into their careers, "Action Comics" shows the earliest adventures of Superman, who's initially a bluejeans-and-T-shirt-wearing crimefighter with a small red cape.

    "We felt it was time for the big adventures of a 21st-century Paul Bunyan who fights for the weak and downtrodden against bullies of all kinds, from robot invaders and crime lords to corrupt city officials," said Morrison, a former "X-Men" writer.

    "The new look reflects his status as a street-level defender of the ordinary man and woman."
