Description

Here�s my unsolicited story idea for the terrific art team of Chris Sprouse and Karl Story: A Superman Family �Elseworlds� limited series that includes Superman, Supergirl, Lois and Jimmy, The Super Pets, The Legion of Superheroes, Kandor, Bizarro� And a full line-up of classic villains. Pretty much everyone who populated the mid 20th century Superman comics.

In other words, a longer form story that�s similar to Alan Moore�s and Curt Swan�s classic �Whatever Happened to The Man of Tomorrow,� but with �- spoiler alert � no fatal tragedies involved.

In 2020, that�s about as likely to happen as Perry White yelling �Great Caesar�s Ghost�, or Jimmy Olsen turning back into a giant turtle, but a guy can dream, can�t he?

Much like Steve Rude, Chris Samnee, and a handful of other artists, Chris and Karl take classic styling and adapt it into a modern form. It�s both retro and contemporary.

In many ways, it�s the best of both worlds. (Hey � that could be the name of the series.)

In the meantime, we have this great cover: Metallo and Reactron defeating the super cousins. Cyborgs rarely look this menacing on a cover.

Chris has such a solid understanding of anatomy and structure. His clean style just makes all his hard work look simple when it's really quite an accomplishment. Great pick up!
