Superman: Phantom Zone

Explore the history of Krypton and the origins of The Phantom Zone, Krypton's other-dimensional prison, in this new title. Collected for the first time, this epic story stars Zod, who will be featured in the summer 2012 movie THE MAN OF STEEL. This story comes from the mind of Steve Gerber, writer of DC's acclaimed series HARD TIME and creator of Marvel's HOWARD THE DUCK.

Best known as the creator of Howard the Duck, Steve Gerber has established a reputation for working at the cutting edge of comics. Steve has put words in the mouths of virtually every major character in the comic book world -- from Superman to Scooby Doo -- and his work has appeared under the imprint of almost every major publisher in the field. He has also written extensively in animation and television, and even has a computer book to his credit.

Steve's comics creations include Nevada (Vertigo), Void Indigo (Epic Comics); Sludge (Malibu Comics); Destroyer Duck (Image Comics); Stewart the Rat (Eclipse Comics); and Omega the Unknown (co-created with Mary Skrenes, published by Marvel Comics). His runs on Marvel's Man-Thing and Defenders and his Phantom Zone miniseries for DC are considered comic book classics. Steve also wrote, edited, and supervised the production of Marvel's celebrated KISS comic book, based on the goth-glam rock band.
