Publication history
[edit]DC Comics launched Superman volume 3 with issue #1 in September 2011 (cover dated November 2011), as part of The New 52.[3] The first three issues saw George Pérez doing the scripting and breakdowns. Dan Jurgens began to co-write and draw Superman with Keith Giffen. Their first issue was #7 (May 2012).[4] As of September 2012's issue #0, Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort became the creative team.[5] John Romita Jr. drew the Superman series in collaboration with writer Geoff Johns in 2014.[6][7] Romita's Superman pencils were inked by Klaus Janson.[8] Superman's secret identity as Clark Kent was revealed to the world in a storyline by writer Gene Luen Yang in 2015.[9] This series ended its run with the release of issue #52 (July 2016).
