Superman: True Brit

A 2005 DC Comics one-shot by John Cleese, Kim "Howard" Johnson, and John Byrne, Superman: True Brit reimagines the Man of Steel as a mild-mannered Englishman, raised in a quiet British village rather than Smallville. This standalone tale explores a more reserved, tea-drinking hero navigating distinctly U.K. sensibilities and tabloid culture. A lively, affectionate spoof from the Monty Python co-writer, it offers a charmingly offbeat alternate take on the Superman mythos.
