DC to Adapt All-Star Superman as Full-Cast Audiobook

All-Star Superman tops many lists of the greatest Superman comics of all time (including IGN's own Top 25 list), and now fans will be able to experience that seminal story in a new form. DC and Penguin Random House are teaming up to adapt All-Star Superman as a full-cast audiobook.

Meghan Fitzmartin is adapting the book, which was originally written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely. Quitely provided a new illustration for the audiobook's cover, which you can see below:
