Written by Evan Dorkin. Art by Mike Allred, Brian Bolland, Frank Cho, Stephen DeSteefano, Dave Gibbons, Joe Giella, Jaime Hernandez, Stuart Immonen, Phil Jimenez, Doug Mahnke, David Mazzucchelli, Frank Miller, Sheldon Moldoff, Glen Murakami, Norm Rapmund, Alex Ross, Scott Shaw, Jay Stephens, Ty Templeton, Bruce Timm, and Jim Woodring. Cover by Brian Bolland.
The mischievous imps - Mr. Mxyzptlk and the Bat-Mite - have a little tactless fun with their buddies Batman and Superman.
It begins with a Superman and Batman adventure in the style of their classic Silver Age stories in World's Finest Comics, with their superheroic activities interrupted by their pesky mystical opponents, Mr. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite. But the comedy turns very dark as the imps accidentally kill our heroes in a saga that takes them on a destructive rampage through nearly every universe DC has presented.
Alex Ross paints the realistically rendered world of Kingdom Come. Frank Miller says knighty-knight to the world of The Dark Knight Returns. Dave Gibbons shreds the Silver Age of Comics. Jaime Hernandez tests the limits of the power of Shazam. And that's just the beginning.
Softcover, 64 pages, full color.

1st printing. Written by Kim "Howard" Johnson and John Cleese. Art and cover by John Byrne and Mark Farmer. Get ready for SUPERMAN: TRUE BRIT, an original hardcover graphic novel with a new take on the Superman legend, courtesy of writer Kim "Howard" Johnson (Monty Python: The First 280 Years) and with some help from, in his comics debut, Monty Python's John Cleese (Fawlty Towers, A Fish Called Wanda). And with art by fan-favorites John Byrne (JLA, DOOM PATROL) & Mark Farmer (JLA: ANOTHER NAIL), this book is sure to be Super! In this humorous, veddy British tale, the Last Son of Krypton's rocket ship crash-lands in an English town even smaller than Smallville, where the infant Kal-El is taken in by adoptive parents - the Clarks - who raise their son Colin to hide his powers, because the worst thing anyone can do is stand out from the crowd. But when Colin grows up to become a mild-mannered reporter working for the Daily Smear, a powerful tabloid newspaper dedicated to uncovering the biggest story of the century, he finds that the key to his success may be in going public. What will the neighbours think? Hardcover, 96 pages, full color. Cover price $24.95.
