Gergeously painted by European artist Teddy Kristiansen, It's A Bird... is a Superman story that doesn't feature Superman at all. Rather, this unique graphic novel explores what the icon of Superman means to the world. Told from the perspective of an author who has written tales about Superman, this book explored the overwhelming effect that the Man of Steel has had on society. A compelling narrative told in a variety of experimental styles, IT's A Bird... weaves two interlocking stories: one that ultimately explores our own mortality and another that dissects the symbolic and cultural elements which make up Superman's mythic importance. Suggested for Mature Readers.

The bookworm grandson recommended this to me as his 'favorite book'. It's a graphic, written/illustrated in comic book fashion which irritated me (I don't like illustrations), but which seems necessary for the story (importance of a Superman comic he received as a small child while a relative was dying)which is rich, nuanced, unusual and life-affirming coupled with a throw-away casualness. So glad the grandson recommended it.
