Wes Craig Brings Gritty Vision to Superman's Origin
Wes Craig, the distinctive artist behind Image's gritty hit Deadly Class, is reimagining Superman. DC just announced his new six-issue miniseries, SUPERMAN: THE STRANGER, launching this September. It's hitting shelves under the DC Black Label imprint, known for its creator-driven, mature takes. Craig will explore Superman's early adventures as an alien outsider. His raw, kinetic style promises a fresh, potentially darker vision of Kal-El's formative years. This is a significant shift, offering a unique perspective on DC's iconic hero. Black Label continues to be a playground for bold creators.

Catzye Take
What's interesting here is seeing a creator known for gritty, indie work take on a mainstream icon like Superman. Black Label continues to be the ideal home for these kinds of experimental, character-defining takes. Fans should watch for how Craig's unique visual storytelling translates to the Man of Steel.
