To me, it’s part of his legacy, the idea that in addition to the great character of Superman, he had this whole different side to him, and did brilliant work, in secret,” Craig Yoe.

Meanwhile ICV2 is reporting more Yoe-related goodness as IDW announces a new imprint launching in the autumn which be overseen by Craig and feature books by or designed by him, with the first two titles being The Complete Milt Gross Life Story and Comics and The Art of Ditko, both of which will interest many of us for their subject matter but knowing Craig I’d also expect the books themselves to be nicely designed pieces of loveliness in their own right too.
