DC Launches All-Star Superman Full-Cast Audiobook

All-Star Superman consistently ranks among the greatest Superman comics, notably featured on IGN's Top 25 list. Now, fans have the exciting opportunity to dive into this iconic tale through a new medium, as DC and Penguin Random House collaborate to bring All-Star Superman to life as a full-cast audiobook.

Adapted by Meghan Fitzmartin, the audiobook retains the essence of the original story penned by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely. Frank Quitely has also contributed a new cover illustration for this audio adaptation, which you can view below:

Set in a unique universe, All-Star Superman follows the Man of Steel, Kal-El, as he faces his mortality after a near-fatal encounter with the sun. The narrative unfolds with Superman revealing his secret identity to Lois Lane, embarking on a series of heroic challenges reminiscent of the 12 Labors of Hercules, and culminating in a final confrontation with his nemesis, Lex Luthor.
