Posted on April 16, 2025 by Neil Cole
Today, leading into DC's Superman Day celebrations on Friday April 18, DC announced five new Superman-themed corner boxes that will appear on DC's "Summer of Superman" comics. The new corner box images celebrate the classic look of beloved DC comic book covers, which traditionally featured at least one of the stars of the title in miniature on the upper left corner of the comic!
The new corner box art, by Superman artist Dan Mora, will appear first on Supergirl #1 (May 14), Superman Unlimited #1 (May 21), Superman #26 (May 28), Action Comics #1087 (June 11) and Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #1 (June 18).
Dan Mora's new corner box character art depicts Supergirl breaking metal chains for Supergirl, Superman breaking Kryptonite chains for Superman Unlimited, Superman breaking futuristic dark energy chains for Superman, Superboy breaking metal chains for Action Comics, and Krypto breaking his leash for Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton.
Reach out to your local comic book store to add these new comics to your pull list.
