DC Unveils All-Star Superman Audiobook with Full Cast

All-Star Superman is often celebrated as one of the greatest Superman comics ever, famously ranking high on lists such as IGN's Top 25. Now, fans can immerse themselves in this iconic tale through a new medium as DC collaborates with Penguin Random House to release it as a full-cast audiobook.

Meghan Fitzmartin has taken on the task of adapting the original story penned by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely. To mark this exciting project, Quitely has created a fresh cover illustration for the audiobook, which you can see below:

Set in a unique universe, All-Star Superman follows the Man of Steel as he confronts his mortality after a near-fatal encounter with the sun. The narrative unfolds with Superman, or Kal-El, revealing his secret identity to Lois Lane and embarking on a series of heroic challenges reminiscent of the 12 Labors of Hercules. The story culminates in a final confrontation with his arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor.
