March 29, 2012: Dan Jurgens on "Superman #7"

Costume ComicBook.com has posted an interview with Dan Jurgens, in which he discusses returning to Superman as co-writer with Keith Giffen and artist Jesus Merino. Here's an excerpt from the interview in which he discusses how this run on the Man of Steel will be different to his previous take on the character...

    Did the new approach to Superman's costume come from you, or was that part of the George's original pitch that he just never got around to using?

    That was mine.

    Keith and I were talking on the phone at one point and I asked if he had any idea how Superman could possibly wear armor, not to mention bigger boots, under his clothes. So I shot him the idea of building it around the costume itself, since we were dealing with a new one anyway. We kicked it around for a bit and the result is on the page.

    Did you already know when writing the issue-or was it just serendipity-that Grant was going to make the costume somewhat "dynamic" in its nature over in Action Comics? The way it appears around Superman makes total sense when you consider that it altered itself to suit Superman when he first put it on.

    When we first ran the tech idea past editorial, they ran it past Grant and everything was ducky. Seems we were thinking somewhat along the same lines and it worked.
