Huck, also known as Huck: All-American and Huck: True American, is an American comic book published by Image Comics, written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Rafael Albuquerque as an unlicensed reinvention of the lore of Superman by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. It began publication on November 18, 2015, and concluded on April 20, 2016.[2]
The series received positive reviews from comic critics,[3][4][5] and was followed by Huck: Home Sweet Huck, Big Game, and Huck: Big Bad World.[6]
Publication history
From 2007 to 2008, Mark Millar attempted to pitch a new series of Superman films to Warner Brothers but the studio went with David S. Goyer's pitch for Man of Steel instead.[7] Subsequently, by 2015, Millar described himself as having been so "traumatised" by the dour tone of Man of Steel that he reworked his pitch to be about an original Superman-type character known as Huck,[8] depicted with Asperger's syndrome and able to track down anyone whom he knows the name of. Huck then began publication on November 18, 2015,[9] and concluded on April 20, 2016.[2]
