Superman - True Brit HC - John Cleese & John Byrne

1st printing. Written by Kim "Howard" Johnson and John Cleese. Art and cover by John Byrne and Mark Farmer. Get ready for SUPERMAN: TRUE BRIT, an original hardcover graphic novel with a new take on the Superman legend, courtesy of writer Kim "Howard" Johnson (Monty Python: The First 280 Years) and with some help from, in his comics debut, Monty Python's John Cleese (Fawlty Towers, A Fish Called Wanda). And with art by fan-favorites John Byrne (JLA, DOOM PATROL) & Mark Farmer (JLA: ANOTHER NAIL), this book is sure to be Super! In this humorous, veddy British tale, the Last Son of Krypton's rocket ship crash-lands in an English town even smaller than Smallville, where the infant Kal-El is taken in by adoptive parents - the Clarks - who raise their son Colin to hide his powers, because the worst thing anyone can do is stand out from the crowd. But when Colin grows up to become a mild-mannered reporter working for the Daily Smear, a powerful tabloid newspaper dedicated to uncovering the biggest story of the century, he finds that the key to his success may be in going public. What will the neighbours think? Hardcover, 96 pages, full color. Cover price $24.95.
