This comic would get five stars for the title alone. It’s a hoot. As it happens, the comic is fabulous too, starting with the terrific cover by illustrator Steve Lieber and colourist Nathan Fairbairn. The editor of the Metropolis Daily Planet for decades, Perry is used to having the world on his shoulders, but this […]
