Does it get more iconic than this?

Not when it comes to Superman. Who hasn’t seen the first issue of SUPERMAN and believed that, yes, a man can fly:

The cover will serve as the variant for #701, which also happens to be writer J. Michael Straczynski’s first issue as the ongoing SUPERMAN writer. What more do you need?

Stay tuned here for a few more amazing 75th anniversary variants.

Did you think we’d run out of awesome variants?

Far from it, gang. As you saw last week, we unveiled a handful of beautiful variant covers by some of the biggest artists in the industry, all to commemorate DC’s 75th anniversary.

And when it comes to masterful covers, you can’t go wrong with Gil Kane. Doubly so if it’s a Gil Kane Green Lantern cover, like the one below, #52:

Now, imagine that cover reinterpreted by Frank Quitely, as the variant to GREEN LANTERN #60:

The DC 75th anniversary covers keep coming

If you’ve been keeping your eyes peeled, you know that we’re rolling out a number of the DC 75th anniversary variant covers this week.

Today, we not only jump into outer space, but into the far future – specifically, the 31st century. Who doesn’t remember the classic cover to LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #294, the concluding chapter of “The Great Darkness Saga”? Here it is, to jog your memory:

And now, here it is, reinterpreted by New York Times-bestselling JOKER artist Lee Bermejo, which will serve as the variant cover to ADVENTURE COMICS #12:
