Summary

This book is a 100-page one-shot published by DC in November 2015. Its core content is a complete reprint of Superman: The Wedding Album #1 from October 1996, one of the most closely followed chapters in the 1990s history of Superman: the marriage of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. The lead story is written in segments by five scribes, Dan Jurgens, Roger Stern, Louise Simonson, Karl Kesel, and David Michelinie, and drawn in relay by more than ten artists including John Byrne, Curt Swan, Gil Kane, Stuart Immonen, Tom Grummett, Ron Frenz, Jon Bogdanove, Paul Ryan, Kieron Dwyer, Kerry Gammill, and Dan Jurgens, with inking and coloring by a veteran lineup including Terry Austin, Murphy Anderson, George Pérez, Jerry Ordway, Brett Breeding, and Glenn Whitmore, totaling more than ninety pages of line art. The story begins with Lois in danger while investigating a drug lord: she is nearly forced to marry him, and ends up bringing him down instead; meanwhile Clark, having lost his powers, keeps searching for the missing Lois in his capacity as a reporter. When the two reunite at the Daily Planet, Lois finds an engagement ring in his pocket, and Clark is obliged to propose formally. The pages that follow revolve around wedding preparations: trying on suits, choosing patterns, looking at a new home, resizing the rings, and dealing with a suspicious father-in-law, Sam Lane, a Perry White undergoing chemotherapy, a Jimmy determined to be the wedding photographer, and guests who drop in to "join the fun," including Batman and Mr. Mxyzptlk. In its hundred pages (about ninety pages of story excluding ads), the special preserves the ensemble feel and period flavor of the wedding in full, and comes with a new cover drawn by Ryan Sook.

Editor's review

严格来说，这本书不是“漫威”，而是 DC 的百页特辑，但它对美漫读者而言分量不轻：它是把 1996 年那场“世纪婚礼”原封不动地整本重印，一期读完，不用再东拼西凑地收旧刊。最值得看的是它的“集体创作”结构——五位编剧分段接力、十几位画师轮番上阵，把克拉克求婚、露易丝试婚纱、双方家庭磨合、报社同事旁观这一整套流程，写成了英雄漫画里少见的家庭喜剧。既有露易丝单枪匹马智斗毒枭的动作戏，也有克拉克失去超能力后握着一枚戒指、只能靠记者身份找人的无力感；那些情绪并非靠打斗建立，而是靠日常细节。Mxyzptlk 先生和蝙蝠侠的客串保留了 90 年代 DC 宇宙的松弛感，也让这场婚礼有了“整个宇宙都在看”的规模。对于只想看现代画风、快节奏大事件的读者，本书的线条与叙事节奏会显得老派；但如果你关心超人与露易丝这对关系的转折点，它是必须补读的一期。Ryan Sook 的新封面也为这本重印增色不少。

About the author

Dan Jurgens Author

Dan Jurgens is a writer and artist long active in American comics, though the publicly available biographical information in our database is limited, with his birth year, nationality and educational background unrecorded. Judging from the fourteen works held here, his output centers on superhero material, most notably the Batman and Superman branches of the DC universe. His works include several volumes of the Batman Beyond series, the six-issue Bat-Mite series, an issue of Supergirl and the DC Comics Presents hundred-page special. These titles are generally classified under children's books, comics and cartoons, mystery and suspense, and media tie-ins, reflecting a writing approach aimed at younger readers that balances action and adventure with light comedy. Overall, his narratives often revolve around identity, urban guardianship and generational inheritance, with scripts and artwork working closely together, giving him a recognizable presence and readership within the superhero genre.

Karl Kesel Author

Karl Kesel is the name of a creator closely associated with mainstream superhero comics. Public information about his nationality, dates of birth and death, and personal background is limited, so this note summarizes only the works held in the database. Five of his works are included, spanning categories such as literature, documentary writing, art, film and television, premium fiction, and film and television originals. Representative works include DC Comics Presents: Superman - Lois & Clark 100-Page Super Spectacular (the wedding album), Fantastic Four v5 issue 13, Superboy issue 0, Human Bomb issue 3, and 2009 Planet of the Apes: The Supreme Eight. These works mostly build on existing comics universes and film or television settings, showing that his output often centers on classic superhero characters, derivative worldbuilding, and cross-media adaptation, and is suitable for readers interested in American comics adaptations and film and television originals.

David Michelinie Author

David Michelinie is an English-language comics writer; public information about him is limited, and neither his dates of birth and death nor his nationality are clearly recorded. Two of his works are included here, spanning superhero and film- and television-related subjects, with common categories covering literature, documentary writing, art, and film and television. His representative works include DC Comics Presents: Superman - Lois & Clark 100-Page Super Spectacular, centered on the romance and wedding of Superman and Lois Lane, and Daredevil v1: The Man Without Fear? #167, a single issue in the Daredevil series. Judging from these works, he is skilled at advancing character relationships and action-driven storytelling within established superhero frameworks, balancing popular entertainment with character development and holding a certain representative place among American comics writers.

Louise Simonson Author

Louise Simonson is an American comics writer known for her work in the superhero genre; her name is often transliterated into Chinese as shown here. At present, the database holds only one work by her: DC Comics Presents: Superman - Lois & Clark 100-Page Super Spectacular (the Wedding Album), commonly classified under literature and documentary writing. Because public information is limited, her nationality, dates of birth and death, and full career cannot be confirmed, and her personal biography should not be expanded on that basis. This work suggests that she is skilled at handling character relationships and emotional threads within large-scale superhero stories, placing an everyday ritual such as a wedding inside a heroic narrative so that the characters gain an emotional dimension closer to ordinary readers beyond the action scenes. Writing of this kind offers some reference for how later comics of the same type develop character relationships, and it also helps readers interested in superhero literature and documentary-style narrative understand her creative profile.

Roger Stern Author

Roger Stern is an English-language comics writer whose exact nationality, birth date and death date are not clearly recorded in publicly available sources. Public information is limited, and this library holds only one work by him. Based on the available material, his representative work is DC Comics Presents: Superman - Lois & Clark 100-Page Super Spectacular, a superhero comic centered on the relationship and wedding of Superman and Lois Lane. Works of this kind often focus on character relationships and emotional threads, presenting the heroes' private lives and romantic choices alongside action and adventure, and thus combining genre entertainment with the narrative appeal of popular literature. This library classifies his work under literature and documentary literature, which may help readers understand his creative profile; a fuller biography, chronology of works and additional representative titles await more complete public sources.
