Description

Superman: Red Son (New Edition) is an alternate history DC classic that asks one simple yet explosive question: what if Superman landed in the Soviet Union instead of Kansas?

In Mark Millar's story, Kal-El grows up on a collective farm and becomes a champion of the "common man," but at the same time finds himself in the hands of a political machine - serving Stalin's agenda, the idea of ​​socialism, and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact.
