Superman: Earth One

May 9, 2010: Shane Davis Talks "Superman: Earth One"

HickoryRecord.com grabbed some time with artist Shane Davis at the recent Hickory Con comic book convention, and spoke to him about his work on the up-coming graphic novel "Superman: Earth One".

    The story is based on the familiar Superman story originally penned in 1938, but Davis has produced a down-to-earth Superman set in the modern day while being true to the spirit of the original source material.

    Davis' partner on the book, writer J. Michael Straczynski, best known for his work on Babylon 5 and a host of other TV shows, penned the story.

    "It's the most human incarnation of Superman I've ever read," Davis said of Straczynski's story.

    He said he tailored his art to match his collaborator's vision.

    "I wanted him to come off as human as possible," Davis said.

You can pre-order the "Superman: Earth One" graphic novel from Amazon.com.
