It's a Bird... (HC)

Can a fictional character save a real life in the real world?

Steve's professional life has never looked brighter. He's been offered the chance to chronicle the adventures of the world's most famous hero: Superman. His personal life, though, has taken a turn for the worse: His father has gone missing, his mother is beside herself with worry, and a grim secret has come back to roost - a fatal genetic disease that threatens to destroy another generation of his family.

In the worlds Steve writes about, salvation comes through displays of fantastic power. But in the real world, where not all diseases have cures, where the only Superman is two-dimensional ink on paper, who will come to save the day?

Working with acclaimed painter Teddy Kristiansen (SANDMAN, HOUSE OF SECRETS), writer Steven T. Seagle (SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE, THE CRUSADES) tells a semi-autobiographical story that explores the many meanings underpinning the icon of Superman. Invoking a variety of styles and voices, IT'S A BIRD... is alternately deeply personal and wildly experimental, a powerful story about memory, family, loss, and our need for heroes.
