DescriptionThis cover from Dan and Brett is so powerful, and brings a sadness to the cover, and appreciation for what we have. I was really fortunate on this cover. It was in Heritage, and went for only $1,200. I couldn't believe it. A bit of a Christmas present."Look around, and you'll see that some of us are not so well off. Some have no jobs to grouse about. Some do not have enough to eat. Others sleep huddled in doorways or over gratings, using copies of this paper to keep warm. These unfortunates are our brothers and sisters. But all too often we look away as they pass. It's about time we stopped doing that." — Perry White The first modern Superman Christmas cover features young Allie of the Daily Planet hiding out in the office storeroom, in "Homeless For The Holidays". Amidst Christmas decorations, office supplies, and more, a Daily Planet issue is featured with the hilarious Mr. Ed", which was excised from the published version. During the Christmas season, the employees at the Daily Planet organize a surprise farewell party for Clark Kent, organized by Alice. The words of his co-workers make it hard for Kent to say goodbye, so he walks through the hallways, reminiscing of his time at the Planet. He suddenly finds Alice crying in the storeroom and she confesses she's been living there for three years after the death of her mother. Moved by her story, Perry White decides to run an editorial and add an article on page one reminding the people of Metropolis to take care of the homeless and help them in any way they can. And not only that, he invites Alice to spend Christmas with his wife and welcomes her to stay at their department until she can afford a place to live on her own. Meanwhile, Superman spends Christmas night with his parents and Lana Lang in Smallville. Social/Sharing |
