August 12, 2010: Interview with Dan Jurgens

Jurgens One of Superman's main writers and artists from the John Byrne era and a prominent member of the team that killed and resurrected the Man of Steel, Dan Jurgens sat down with Comics Nexus and spoke in part about his past work on the Metropolis Marvel:

    I think we made the Superman franchise remarkably credible - not that it wasn't when we got there.

    When I first started and it was just two or three books, we began to build the formula for what would become a weekly comic book and worked very, very well. Long before "The Death..." we did a number good, quality stories.

    "The Death..." still stands as a landmark in comics publishing that will always be part of Superman lore. In addition, to create a couple of villains like Doomsday and Cyborg Superman, who both have great resonance years later, is a real accomplishment.

Among those "good, quality stories" to which Jurgens refers are several which Jurgens further speaks about in this brief but nostalgic interview including "Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite", "Time and Time Again", and "Dark Knight Over Metropolis". Read the entire interview here.
