June 6, 2013: DC Comics Asks Creators: "Why Superman?"
Last month, DC Comics launched "Adventures of Superman", the publisher's maiden digital-first Superman title. To mark issue #6 of the critically acclaimed title, DC Comics decided to ask the creative teams that have thus far worked on the title why they yearned to write and/or draw the Man of Steel.Here are a few snippets from the interviews:
- 'He is an inspiration, a super hero, sure - but for this kid who grew up reading his adventures - he's also a friend.' - Chris Samnee
'He was, and is, quite simply, the greatest super hero ever.' - Jeff Lemire
'Superman is always looking for happy endings, and never falters in believing it's possible.' - Justin Jordan
'(My) story was a chance to write the essence of the character and to thank him... for enriching my life.' - J.M. DeMatteis
'It was my honor to contribute but a single drop into the ocean of his enduring legacy.' - Bryan J.L. Glass
