Landing in comic book stores today and in bookstores everywhere next Tuesday, SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, VOL. 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times best-selling graphic novel SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE by acclaimed writer J. Michael Straczynski (BEFORE WATCHMEN, BRAVE AND THE BOLD, BABYLON 5) and superstar artist Shane Davis (GREEN LANTERN, SUPERMAN/BATMAN).

 

If you’ve already picked up your copy of this 136-page hardcover original graphic novel, you may have noticed that there are two pages of sketches in the back of the book. These sketches act as a backstage pass of sorts into Shane Davis’ creative process.

 

As a special way to commemorate the book’s release today, check out these sketches below. See how Parasite (the book’s villain) evolved from his initial incarnation into the final look you’ll see in the pages of SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, VOL. 2. And don’t forget to pick up your copy of the book, available in comic book stores now!
