Title: Kirby Superman
Post by: Daughter of Krypton on October 03, 2025, 09:10:40 PM
I'd really love to have a 1970s or 1980s Kirby-verse Superman storyline going in the Superman Through the Ages! comic (https://www.supermanthroughtheages.com/the-comic-book/). I've got the cover picture all picked out, now I just need to find someone who'll write and draw it...

This wouldn't necessarily be the Fourth World/Jimmy Olsen stuff; but something new - a new take on Superman: What if DC had handed the Superman keys to Kirby, and he could build it all from the ground up? What would he have done with Krypton, with the "Superman Family", with the mythos, with the origin, if there were no restrictions on him? What kind of costume would Superman have? What would Krypton be like? Would he do a minimalistic 1940s Superman; or a super-cosmic, outer-spacey Superman?  What kind of hero would Kirby's Superman be?

The stuff of dreams.
