Superman: Kryptonite: The Deluxe Edition by Darwyn Cooke
Kryptonite. Even beyond Superman's colourful world of heroes and villains, the word has become synonymous with our ultimate weaknesses. This glowing green mineral spells certain death for the otherwise indestructible Man of Steel--but it's also the only tangible link he has to his homeworld. But how did Superman discover the one thing that can harm him? In this untold chapter from Superman's earliest days, a suave, savage crime lord makes his move on Metropolis, bringing with him a strange green meteorite from the distant reaches of space. Now everyone from Lois Lane to Lex Luthor to Superman himself is racing to uncover this new villain's secret--not knowing that this seemingly inanimate asteroid has a secret of its own... Eisner Award winners Darwyn Cooke (DC: The New Frontier) and Tim Sale (Batman: The Long Halloween) present a gripping, gorgeous untold tale from Superman's early days--his first encounter with the rock that will rock his world forever! Collects Superman Confidential #1-5 and #11.
Darwyn Cooke was an Eisner Award-winning cartoonist and animator. After spending several years as a magazine art director and graphic designer, Cooke switched careers and began working in animation, where he contributed to such shows as Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series and Men In Black: The Series. From there, DC Comics approached Cooke to write and illustrate a project that the artist had submitted to the company years earlier: BATMAN: EGO. The critical success of the title led to more freelance work, including the relaunch of the CATWOMAN series with writer Ed Brubaker (which inspired Cooke to write and draw the graphic novel CATWOMAN: SELINA'S BIG SCORE). Cooke then spent several years writing and drawing the ambitious epic THE NEW FRONTIER, a six-issue miniseries bridging the gap between the end of the Golden Age of comics and the beginnings of the Silver Age.
