Listen "All-Star Superman Part 1 (Audio Version)"
Episode Synopsis
It’s finally here — we’re starting our deep dive into one of the greatest Superman stories ever: All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely.
In this first part, we cover Issues #1–3, where Superman receives a death sentence after flying too close to the sun, reveals his secret to Lois (with a birthday twist), and faces a time-traveling Samson and Atlas who show up to hit on his girlfriend. Yes… really.
We dig into:
Morrison’s love letter to Silver Age weirdness and big sci-fi ideas
Superman’s final acts of kindness and ultimate humanity
Why this series still influences Superman stories (and movies) today
It’s heartfelt, weird, epic, and beautiful — everything Superman should be.
All-Star Superman Issues 1–3 (2005–2006, DC Comics)
