The Man of Steel will take flight in a new DC anthology series in 2021 titled Superman: Red & Blue. The six-issue miniseries follows in the footsteps of Batman: Black & White by offering fresh new visions for Superman by paring the comic down to the Man of Steel's signature colors of red and blue.
March's Superman: Red & Blue #1 pairs Academy Award-winning writer of DC Future State: The Next Batman John Ridley with artist Clayton Henry (Batman/Superman) to tell a story of Clark Kent as he confronts a villain who still haunts him, in a story that shows what Superman can mean to a whole country. Then, Brandon Easton (DC Future State's Mister Miracle) and Steve Lieber (Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen) take readers to the streets of Metropolis to show how one hero can mean so much to an individual in pain.
Writer/artist Wes Craig (Deadly Class) will also tell a tale of Superman's early days and the man who inspired him to become the hero he is today. Plus, Marguerite Bennett (DC Future State: Kara Zor-El, Superwoman) and artist Jill Thompson (The Sandman, Black Orchid) deliver a tale of teenage Clark Kent, while Dan Watters and Dani, the team behind Coffin Bound, bring readers an outlandish fable about what happens when all colors are stolen.
Superman: Red & Blue #1 (of 6), features 40 pages of stories by Marguerite Bennett, Wes Craig, Dani, Brandon Easton, Clayton Henry, Steve Lieber, John Ridley, Jill Thompson and Dan Watters. It retails for $5.99 with a cover by Gary Frank and variant covers by Lee Bermejo and Yoshitaka Amano. Superman: Red & Blue will ship monthly beginning on March 9 in DC's Prestige Format binding.
