BAM POW COMIC HOUR PODCAST RETURNS TO THE STUDIO! Hello True Believers, were back from our extended break returning to the universe to bring you exciting new comic book collected edition and graphic novel conversations.
Superman Space Age written by Mark Russell and art Michael Allred with colors by Laura Allred is BAM POW Comic Hour's 2023 book of the year. Like many retellings of Superman's origin story, Superman Space Age does explain the origins as the Man of Steel from out space who learns about who he is and why is Superman. The unique twist that this creative team is set with a background of America in the 1960s with real world events and historical figures with iconic DC characters merging to blend the two worlds together. Clark Kent is on a journey of finding his purpose of how he can help others with the time he has on earth. The age of super heroes is born and receiving the call to action has tremendous weight and the ability to make the right decision has a huge responsibility. This book has 3 extended chapters taking place in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. The art by Michael Allred has a unique cartoon stylized perspective. However, this creative team does an incredible job at this ambitious vision only they could accomplish. We recommend this book to anyone looking for a fresh superman story and for fans of stories that blend history and fantasy together that delivers a deep meaningful, yet fun story with DC Comic Characters.
