About the series
Mark Russell and Michael Allred bring a retro-futurist sensibility to DC’s Silver Age in Superman: Space Age (2022–2023), a three-issue prestige series that reimagines the Man of Steel’s early years against the backdrop of the Kennedy-era space race. With Allred’s signature pop-art visuals and Russell’s sharp, humanist writing, the story grounds Superman’s cosmic origins in a Cold War world wrestling with its own potential for both wonder and destruction. This limited series stands out for its thoughtful, character-driven take on the classic hero, exploring what it means to be a symbol of hope in an age of anxiety.
