Oh, and the red trunks are returning. Take a peek at one of the covers for the landmark issue, penciled by Jim Lee. On the return of the classic Superman element, Lee stated, "
Action Comics #1000 represents a watershed moment in the history of not just comic books, but entertainment, literature, and pop culture. There’s no better way to celebrate Superman’s enduring popularity than to give him a look that combines some new accents with the most iconic feature of his classic design."
