Superman: Red Son

In this iconic 2004 DC Elseworlds tale, writer Mark Millar and artist Dave Johnson reimagine the Superman mythos with a single, brilliant twist: what if the Man of Steel had landed in the Soviet Union during the Cold War? This standalone prestige series explores a world where Superman becomes a symbol of communist ideology, pitting him against a very different America and challenging the very nature of heroism and power. Its thought-provoking premise and striking visual style have made it a enduring touchstone for alternate-universe storytelling.
