If you’ve ever been hooked on the legendary tale of All-Star Superman (a story so iconic it sits pretty on many “greatest of all time” lists, including IGN’s own Top 25), get ready for a whole new way to dive into its epic narrative. DC, teaming up with Penguin Random House, is giving this classic comic a fresh spin by morphing it into a full-cast audiobook. And let’s be honest—nothing beats listening to your favorite hero’s adventures when you can kick back, press play, and let the story come alive!
A Legendary Tale Reimagined Originally penned by the visionary Grant Morrison and brought to life by the remarkable illustrator Frank Quitely, All-Star Superman is not your average superhero story. It’s a standalone epic that sees our caped wonder facing his own Superman-style 12 Labors of Hercules while dealing with the big “D” in destiny—his impending death after flying a tad too close to the sun. Along the way, he reveals his secret identity to Lois Lane and even goes toe-to-toe with his arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor. And because every epic needs a fresh perspective, Quitely has even designed a brand-new cover illustration just for the audiobook!
Meet the Stellar Cast This adaptation doesn’t hold back with talent, featuring an impressive full-cast lineup that fans are sure to relish: • Marc Thompson as Superman/Clark Kent & Zibarro • Kristen Sieh as Lois Lane • Christopher Smith as Lex Luthor • Sean Kenin Elias-Reyes as Bizarro & Atlas • Brandon McInnis as Jimmy Olsen • Matthew Amendt as Leo Quintum • Ray Porter as Jor-El • Jessica Almasy as Nasthalthia Luthor • Pete Bradbury as Perry White • Scott Brick as Bar-El • Brennan Brown as Steve Lombard • Will Damron as Leader of the Superman Squad • Lauren Ezzo as Lana Lang • Robert Fass as Pa Kent • James Fouhey as Pete Ross • Todd Haberkorn as Klyzyzk Klzntplkz • Neil Hellegers as General Lane • Dominic Hoffman as Judge Morris • Đavid Lee Huỳnh as Kal Kent • Joshua Kane as Samson • January LaVoy as Agatha • Saskia Maarleveld as Lilo • Salli Saffioti as Ma Kent • Catherine Taber as Cat Grant • Oliver Wyman as Parasite
