Superman: Secret Identity

Kurt Busiek and Stuart Immonen's 's Superman: Secret Identity is coming out in trade paperback. The premise is simple: In our world, a young man named Clark Kent (his parents thought it would be funny) suddenly gains Superman's powers.

It's a beautiful story. Stuart Immonen's art is terrific, and Kurt Busiek's writing is sharp, smart, funny, touching. It is a truly fresh take on a subject that often seems to have beaten to death.

Even if you don't read comics. Even if you do read comics but don't usually read Superhero comics. Even if you hate Superman. Buy it.(the link is to Amazon.uk, where it's significantly cheaper. If you're already getting something from Amazon.com, you can use this link) Read it. Come back and thank me. I'll be here.
