DC has announced that classic comic book All-Star Superman will be available as an audiobook for the first time in a new recording from Penguin Random House Audio in collaboration with DC (on sale June 24, 2025). Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s Eisner Award–winning graphic novel is adapted for audiobook listeners by Meghan Fitzmartin and features cover art by Quitely, a full cast of 25 voices, an original music score, and sound effects.
The All-Star Superman story is widely considered one of the greatest in the iconic character’s history. The Man of Tomorrow is an enduring DC Super Hero whose story has taken many forms over the years, from page to audio to screen and back again. Adapting All-Star Supermanas an audiobook hearkens back to the earliest years of Superman, when more than 2,000 episodes of the radio show The Adventures of Superman were broadcast from 1940 to 1951.
In the audiobook, which directly adapts the complete 12-issue run of the original comic, Superman goes toe-to-toe with Bizarro, his oddball twin, and the new character Zibarro, also from the Bizarro planet. And Superman faces the final revenge of Lex Luthor in the form of his own death! All-Star Superman is a spectacular reimagining of the Superman mythos, from the character’s origin to his greatest foes and beyond.
