October 27, 2010: Dan DiDio Talks "Superman: Earth One"
io9.com caught up with DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio to talk to him about the launch of "Superman: Earth One", the original graphic novel that is generating so much buzz in the press this week. Here's part of what he had to say...
- What was the genesis of Superman: Earth One?
One of things I wanted to create was original material that is built as books. So much that we do is in collected edition form with periodicals bound together, but there's a certain style of storytelling that allows itself in a book format, and we wanted to address it with our primary characters, starting with Superman. In this particular case, we reached out to Joe Straczynski, who's a longtime Superman fan. The twist was we wanted a Superman story as if Superman arrived today. What would his interests be? What would his sensibilities be? How would he become a hero? Once we had that discussion with Joe, he went with it, and I think he set every goal we set out for.
Order "Superman: Earth One" from Amazon.com.
Thanks to Eli Gutierrez for the lead on this interview.
