VOICES FROM KRYPTON: THE UNOFFICIAL ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN ON FILM & IN COMICS by Edward Gross
He is the world's most iconic superhero.
It's been said that his "S" logo and the Christian Cross are the two most recognizable symbols on the planet.
To the people of Earth, he is hope personified.
His name is Superman, and for over 75 years he has been entertaining comic book readers, television viewers and filmgoers around the world in a wide variety of incarnations that have touched one generation after another. Designed to celebrate all of that and more, Voices From Krypton: The Unofficial Adventures of Superman on Film & in Comics is the first in a series of volumes that goes behind the scenes on the Man of Steel's saga. This inaugural edition includes in depth coverage of the Superman: Birthright comic book maxi-series from acclaimed writer Mark Waid; the 10-year saga of the Smallville TV series that chronicled teenager Clark Kent's gradual evolution to his final destination as Superman; and Man of Steel, the feature film in which Henry Cavill defined the character for today's audience.
For anyone who has read a Superman comic, watched one of his film or TV adventures or tied a towel around their neck and imagined what it would be like to fly, Voices From Krypton is for you.

You'll GO APE with Ed Gross' latest, which is coming soon:
Twenty-three years after the publication of the critically acclaimed Planet of the Apes Revisited, authors Joe Russo, Larry Landsman and Edward Gross are back with the two-volume The Unofficial Oral History of Planet of the Apes, a completely revised and thoroughly expanded look at the world of the Apes from 1963 to the present.
These books are filled with hundreds of interviews with cast and crew who take you behind-the-scenes of each film and television series, in their own words. Volume I spans 1963 to 1973, from the publication of Pierre Boulle’s original novel through the development process of the first film and the making of Planet, Beneath, Escape, Conquest and Battle. Volume II spans from 1974 to 2024, and focuses on both the live action and animated television series, the ongoing Apes fan phenomenon, various attempts to resurrect the franchise, the making of Tim Burton’s 2001 film, a journey deep inside the critically and commercially heralded trilogy consisting of Rise, Dawn and War, as well as the all-new chapter, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. And it’s all wrapped up with an in depth appendix by author Rich Handley, who provides a guide to every novel, short story and comic book taking place on the Planet of the Apes.
The two-volume Unofficial Oral History of Planet of the Apes is coming very soon from Bearmanor Media and will be available wherever books are sold.
