Title: Superman in the UK Post by: TELLE on March 24, 2007, 06:56:30 AM Don't know if this has been listed here but I saw it on the Comics reporter site:
Quote Titan is licensing an 84-page Superman publication from DC to sell in the UK, Superman Legends, initially featuring recent Grant Morrison, Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb serials from different North American comic books.

The series looks pretty neat: http://www.titanmagazines.co.uk/titanmag/app?service=external/Product&sp=S877 Title: Re: Superman in the UK Post by: Permanus on March 24, 2007, 11:37:27 AM Like crispy snax, I never have any trouble locating comics here, but then I live in London, where there are several comic stores: Forbidden Planet, Pow! and the beautifully-named They Walk Among Us to name but a few. I imagine these comics, which are available at ordinary newsstands, are intended for a nationwide and perhaps more casual audience.

I feel pity for them. Title: Re: Superman in the UK Post by: Great Rao on March 27, 2007, 10:28:39 PM Submitting the UK to Azzarello's "For Tomorrow" arc? I feel pity for them. I think one of Busiek's arcs would have been a better move. But at least they get Grant Morrison.
