The Comics That Inspired James Gunn's "Superman"
Gunn's "Superman" is slated to release on July 11, 2025. If you don't want to wait for more Superman, you might want to check out the comics that inspired the film.
"All-Star Superman" is widely considered the greatest Superman story of all time. Featuring stunning artwork by Frank Quitely and a heartfelt story by Grant Morrison, "All-Star Superman" is both exciting and inspirational.
"Superman for All Seasons" is another standout story, created by the iconic comic book duo Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. Sale's signature artwork perfectly complements the setting, and while Loeb and Sale are already legendary figures in the comic book world, this remains one of their finest works.
"Kingdom Come," written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Alex Ross, is one of the most iconic comic book events ever published. The series features Ross's breathtaking artwork and Waid's compelling alternate universe version of Superman, making it a must-read.
"Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" by legendary writer Alan Moore is one of the most memorable Superman stories. Adapted into an acclaimed episode of "Justice League Unlimited," this comic is widely regarded as one of the most poignant and heartbreaking Superman tales.
While not a direct inspiration for Gunn's upcoming film, "Superman" by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank delivers an exciting story with breathtaking artwork. Frank's depiction of Superman, inspired by Christopher Reeve, adds a nostalgic touch, while Johns' accessible storytelling makes this series enjoyable for any comic book fan.
