About the series
In 2003, DC Comics published Mark Millar’s provocative three-issue miniseries Superman: Red Son, which reimagines the Man of Steel as a Soviet hero. With striking art by Dave Johnson and Kilian Plunkett, this alternate-history tale swaps Krypton’s Kansas landing for a Ukrainian collective farm, exploring how a Communist Superman would reshape the Cold War. A landmark “What If?” story, it remains a bold, thought-provoking examination of the character’s core ideals through a political lens.
