Exclusive Interview: Denny O'Neil on Humanizing Superman
Back in 1971, DC heralded a big change coming to the Superman comics, and it was Denny O'Neil who would be penning the newest chapter in the Man of Steel's history. The idea was to strip Superman of some of his power, humanizing him in the process and allowing for a new level of "realistic" (relatively speaking) storytelling. In this exclusive interview conducted by VFK editor Edward Gross, O'Neil details his intentions for the character, and also discusses the medium in general. His story, which kicked off with "Kryptonite Nevermore" but has been nicknamed "The Sandman Superman Saga," is about to be published as a hardcover edition by DC.
