In this very special two part series, Rob O' Connor and Alan Burke are joined by Superman scholar and 'Digging for Krypronite' host Anthony Desiato for a comprehensive retrospective of one of the most celebrated Superman stories of all time: Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s All Star Superman.

In Part One, we dive into the first six issues of this modern masterpiece, examining the mythic scope, poetic structure, and emotional depth that have made All Star Superman a defining portrayal of the Man of Steel in the 21st century. From Superman's mortality to the Bottle City of Kandor, from Luthor’s schemes to Lois Lane’s birthday surprise, nothing is off limits as we explore what makes this series so timeless and beloved.

Whether you're reading along or revisiting an old favourite, this is a must listen for fans of the Big Blue Boy Scout.

Alan and Rob return alongside special guest Parker to finish ranking the live-action Superman suits!

Which designs stand the test of time? Which ones took bold risks? And how have these costumes reflected the changing times and changing interpretations of Superman himself?
