May 24, 2012: Dan Jurgens Talks About "Superman #9"

Superman #9 Writer/Artist Dan Jurgens sat down with ComicBook.com to discuss the ins and outs of issue #9 of the monthly "Superman" comic book title. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    It's been a while (probably since that first Jeph Loeb arc) that Superman's secret identity has been a major cause for consternation; in the pre-reboot DC Universe they seemed pretty comfortable with the idea that he didn't use one. Did you want to kind of take that comfort zone away from Superman in the new world?

    You'll have to wait until we get to the end of the story, but the basic idea here is that people speculate about all sorts of things when it comes to Superman.

    My gosh- many people seem unable to grasp where our President was born. Can you imagine what would be said if we had a Superman in our world? Is there just one? Two? More? Maybe he's an army of robots?

    The international intrigue here seems like it could be a good time for Superman to reach out to his friends in the Justice League International-unfortunately, their Russian membership is somewhat thin at present. Was that intentional or just a coincidence?

    Mostly coincidence. Russian subs have a history of accidents so it fit the needs of the story well.
