DC has revealed former Marvel executive Joe Quesada's official variant cover artwork for the first issue of the 10-part series Superman: Lost, which is slated to launch next month.Quesada's "stunning" Superman: Lost #1 variant finds Superman high above the Earth's surface as he reunites with the love of his life, Lois Lane. What's more, the Man of Steel can be seen sporting his brand-new, all-white suit.
While Quesada has done plenty of work for DC in the past, he has been synonymous with Marvel Comics for the past decade-plus -- and is even credited with helping to save the company from financial ruin in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 1998, Quesada and frequent collaborator Jimmy Palmiotti launched the fabled Marvel Knights imprint. Two years later, Quesada was named Marvel's Editor-in-Chief, a position he held until 2011. After stepping down, Quesada began serving as Marvel's Chief Creative Officer. However, he officially parted ways with the House of Ideas in mid-2022. Later that year, he re-joined the Distinguished Competition as a cover artist.

As for Superman: Lost #1, the issue slated to hit comic shops on Tuesday, March 14 from writer Christopher Priest and artists Carlo Pagulayan and Jason Paz, the latter two of whom also provide the main cover art. In addition to the one by Quesada, the book also features a variant cover by Lee Weeks.
Superman: Lost is described as depicting "Superman's odyssey of solitude." An official synopsis for issue #1 reads as follows: "After Superman is called away on a routine Justice League mission, Lois Lane awakens to find a complete stranger standing in her living room. The Man of Steel, home much sooner than expected, reveals he has, in fact, been lost in space for 20 years. Nothing and no one seem familiar to him anymore, and the timeless bond between them has been severed... or has it? Can love conquer all? Superman's 85th anniversary celebration continues with this all new blockbuster 10-issue series from the creators of the Eisner-nominated Deathstroke series!"
Written by Christopher Priest and illustrated by Carlo Pagulayan and Jason Paz, Superman: Lost #1 goes on sale March 14 from DC.
