There was a period in my life that I wanted to get the Red Son Superman logo as a tattoo on my leg. Instead, I opted for Jerry Garcia’s handprint which is 100% less controversial.

We lose all the NATO paranoia. How the west would have reacted if this was the case in the Cold War.

I really am a fan of modern comics taking a look at this era of history. Sensational Wonder Woman had recently done that. Then there is that Darwyn Cooke classic, New Frontier, which is a good choice for a double feature with Red Son.

I mean, the themes are different and the art style is very different but still a fun double-feature opportunity!

It’s much more anti-communist than the book. The book is much more even handed.
