TRUE BRIT HC
Written by Kim “Howard” Johnson & John Cleese
Art and cover by John Byrne & Mark Farmer
Get ready for
SUPERMAN: TRUE BRIT, an original hardcover graphic novel with a
humorous new take on the Superman legend, courtesy of writer Kim
“Howard” Johnson (Monty Python: The First 280 Years) with some help
in his comics debut from 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 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 in 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
neighbors think?
