About the author

Dennis O'Neil began his comics career in 1965 at Charlton Comics. He soon moved to DC, where he quickly became one of the top writers in comics. O'Neil earned a reputation for being able to revamp such characters as Superman, Green Lantern, Captain Marvel and Batman, whom O'Neil (with artist Neal Adams) brought back to his roots as a dark, mysterious avenger. Having been raised on DC Comics, SUPERMAN holds a special place in Adam Kubert's heart. Completing the picture was having the opportunity to work with the highly acclaimed writing team of Richard Donner and Geoff Johns. Adam's past work includes BATMAN vs. PREDATOR, The X-Men, Wolverine, The Incredible Hulk, Fantastic Four, Spirits of Vengeance, and Doc Savage.
