Surprise Absolute Superman #1 Variant Cover by Frank Quitely Next Week

Surprise Absolute Superman #1 Variant Cover by Frank Quitely Next Week from DC Comics, as shown off by Jason Aaron

Absolute Superman #1 by Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval will be published next week, the third of the initial line-up of Absolute Universe titles from DC Comics that have been launching in 2024. And has been selling rather well, so much is expected of this issue. Jason Aaron posted to X, saying, "Next week. A new era of Superman begins. Are you ready?"

Well, there was one at the top which hadn't been seen elsewhere. Even if you only got to see the top half. And clearly an unannounced cover by Frank Quitely, who is best known in the Superman world for drawing All-Star Superman with writer Grant Morrison. And, quite frankly, just popping back for a flying visit, as it were…

And in for a penny, here's the missing Absolute Batman #1 third printing B cardstock cover by Jerome Opena to go with the rest.
