Superman: True Brit

In this 2004 DC Comics one-shot, John Cleese and Kim "Howard" Johnson imagine a Superman raised not in Kansas, but in a quiet English village, where his values are shaped by British reserve and a very different sense of fair play. Artist John Byrne brings his signature clean, classic style to a story that recontextualizes the Man of Steel’s origin through a wry, Monty Python-inflected lens. A clever, self-contained alternate-universe tale, Superman: True Brit offers a warm, humorous take on the character’s enduring appeal.
