DC Launches Full-Cast Audiobook of All-Star Superman

All-Star Superman is frequently celebrated as one of the greatest Superman comics ever, securing a spot on numerous top lists, including IGN's Top 25. Now, fans can dive into this iconic story in a fresh format, as DC and Penguin Random House collaborate to release it as a full-cast audiobook.

Meghan Fitzmartin is at the helm of adapting this masterpiece, originally crafted by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely. To mark this new venture, Quitely has contributed a new cover illustration for the audiobook, showcased below:
