Superboy

The Covered blog is a great site that compiles modern recreations of old comic book covers, and the very best tend to offer not only updated art but an updated perspective on an old image. That's certainly the case for this cover of Superboy #6 as recreated by Guy Perez, which takes some seemingly chaste schoolgirl fantasies about Superboy to their logical -- and more sexually expressive -- end...

Following those for Batman, Green Lantern, Justice League and Edge & Dark, solicitations have finally been released for Superman comics shipping in October as part of DC's line-wide superhero reboot. As we reported earlier this week, the "New 52" status-quo for Superman finds the Man of Steel an orphan twice over, not married to Lois Lane, and, at least in Grant Morrison and Rags' Mo

Here at ComicsAlliance, we value our readership and are always open to what the masses of Internet readers have to say. That's every week, Senior Writer Chris Sims puts his comics culture knowledge to the test as he responds to your reader questions...

After yesterday's announcements, there were only four titles left out of DC's 52 new #1s, and it wasn't difficult to figure out what they'd be: Action Comics, Superman, Superboy and Supergirl. Namely, the four main Super-titles. And so, led by the prodigious talent of Grant Morrison, this morning, DC announced their creative teams and solicitations...

It is with the greatest pleasure that we bring you the happy news of Marvel Comics Director of Communications Arune Singh's engagement to his longtime girlfriend Michelle. But almost more awesome than that is the manner by which Arune proposed: the presentation of original artwork by Francis Manapul, depicting Arune as Superboy on bended knee, proposing to Michelle as Wonder Girl...

Love it or hate it, the Smallville TV show has been one of the most popular mass media adaptations of a comic, reaching millions of viewers each week with stories of what Clark Kent's life was like before he became Superman. Now, we're marking its passing by having ComicsAlliance's Chris Sims and David Uzumeri, two guys who have never actually watched the show, watch and review every single episod

Chris: I know you guys weren't expecting to see Uzumeri and I back to talking about Smallville again so soon, but this has been a pretty big couple of days for news of everyone's eighth-favorite media adaptation of the Superman mythos. David: Sorry, give me a second -- I'm still picking up the last remnants of my brain matter so I can reconstruct my mind, which was just blown...

If anyone's had a rough go over the past few years at DC Comics, it's Superboy. He had a nervous breakdown, died, came back to life, and starred in a backup feature before finally returning to the Teen Titatns. But the real excitement for SB fans comes next Wednesday when writer Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth) and DC newcomer artist Pier Gallo relaunch the Boy of Steel's ongoing series with a new Superb

Despite the fact that it ran for four seasons during my childhood, I don't have a lot of memories of the 1988 "Superboy" TV show, which featured an awful lot of writing from ComicsAlliance favorite Cary Bates. I'm pretty sure the fact is that I never watched it, because if I had...

Today on his website, artist Michael Cho posted his painted cover for the upcoming hardcover collection of early "Superboy" stories, and it is pretty great: I've been looking forward to the collection -- the few Superboy stories I've read from the '40s somehow manage to exceed the Golden Age craziness of their grown-up counterparts -- but seeing Cho's beautiful cover makes me even more
