*All-Star Superman* consistently ranks among the greatest Superman stories ever told, earning its spot on numerous "Best of" lists—including IGN’s Top 25 Superman Comics of All Time. Now, fans have a fresh way to experience this iconic tale with an upcoming full-cast audiobook adaptation. DC and Penguin Random House are collaborating to bring Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s celebrated comic to life through voice, offering both longtime fans and newcomers an immersive new way to enjoy the story.
Meghan Fitzmartin is handling the adaptation of *All-Star Superman*, which was originally written by Grant Morrison with art by Frank Quitely. Quitely also contributed an exclusive illustration for the audiobook’s cover, pictured below:
Set in a self-contained universe, *All-Star Superman* tells the powerful story of Clark Kent facing his own mortality after absorbing a fatal dose of solar radiation. The narrative explores Superman’s emotional journey as he reveals his identity to Lois Lane, undertakes heroic trials reminiscent of the Twelve Labors of Hercules, and ultimately confronts Lex Luthor one final time.
