Following the release last month of the milestone Action Comics #1000, DC Entertainment has announced the celebration will continue this fall with the publication of deluxe hardcover edition, complete with scripts and sketches.

“We were blown away by the response to Action Comics #1000," DC Co-Publisher Jim Lee said in a statement, "and we wanted to gather together even more behind the scenes material such as sketches, scripts, etc. so fans can take a peek inside this historic release. ... This is not only a must-have for any Superman fan, but also any fan of comics, entertainment or pop culture.”
