DC Comics has announced the launch of My Adventures with Superman, a new comic series based on the acclaimed animated series of the same name. The first issue of the title, written by series producer Josie Campbell with artwork by Pablo M. Collar, will hit shelves on June 4, 2024.

DC’s My Adventures with Superman: A New Comic Book Series,
Set in the World of the Hit Animated Show
Available for Pre-Order Friday, March 15
Arrives in Participating Comic Book Shops and E-Tailers Tuesday, June 4
On June 4, DC is bringing the action and excitement of the hit animated series My Adventures with Superman to comic book fans in a new series. Written by series producer Josie Campbell and drawn by artist Pablo M. Collar, My Adventures with Superman picks up from the explosive end of season one, serving as a bridge to the highly anticipated season two.
“Being the producer of My Adventures with Superman and bringing Clark Kent to TV screens around the world has been nothing but a dream come true for me,” said Campbell. “So I’m absolutely thrilled that Pablo and I get to bring fans even more adventures with Superman, this time in comic book form!”
Clark Kent is a bit down and out, spending Christmas alone in Metropolis. But when he gets a tip about a monster in the sewers, Superman, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen spring into action to investigate this mystery. What is this monster that can absorb anything it touches, and why is it here in Metropolis?
“This story is one we actually talked about in the writers room, but we didn’t have space for it in season one,” continued Campbell. “So get ready for romance, comedy, super-powers, Jimmy Olsen talking a lot about how he’s super-rich now, and all the goodness of the show bundled into this action-packed miniseries.”
Artist Pablo M. Collar brings an impressive DC pedigree to this series, having provided art for DC’s Are You Afraid of Darkseid, DC’s Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun, and other DC anthology titles. “I was completely in love with My Adventures with Superman the minute I saw the announcement of the series, and I jumped at the chance to work with Josie on the comic,” said Collar. “Superman has always been the reference and the symbol of all that’s good in us, and being part of something like this is a dream come true, and the whole team will give it our best.”
My Adventures with Superman #1 is available for pre-order at participating comic book shops Friday, March 15, and arrives at participating shops and e-tailers Tuesday, June 4.
