Yesterday DC’s Source blog released Frank Quitely’s new, original cover for the upcoming “Absolute Edition” collection of Quitely and Grant Morrison’s All-Star Superman series, perhaps the second-best superhero comic series DC has published in the 21st century (Following All-Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder, of course). That’s the new cover up there.

Even better, today The Source has writer, designer, comics archaeologist and guy-who-came-up-with-those-tilty-All-Star-logos Chip Kidd’s introduction to the upcoming collection. That’s great news for anyone who wanted to see what Kidd had to say but didn’t want to buy the $100 hardcover on account of having already read the series in a previous format—the absolute edition is over 300 pages and 15.6-by-8.7 inches, which would make it awfully hard to hold up in the shop long enough to read the introduction before putting it back on the shelf.
