With his first issue hitting the stands last week, local writer Chris Roberson talks with KXAN about his new job.
He(Chris) worked for Dell as an engineer before quitting 7 years ago to become an author. A year and a half ago he started writing comics, and now works for DC as the writer of the man of steel.
"My earliest obsession was Superman. I have photographic records of me wearing Superman t-shirts and Superman costumes," Roberson says.
"It's great because I get to spend weeks sitting around reading Superman comics and calling it work. I tend to clutter my desk with Superman action figures, some of which I've had for 35 years," Roberson said. "Now I get to make up stories about Superman, which isn't a million miles from what I did when I was six."
Roberson goes on to describe his vision for Superman.
"He's really smart. People forget it's not just that he can fly and is super strong, so put him in a situation where he can't fix by punching something and make him puzzle out a really smart solution to it."
