In Fall 2023, as part of the 'Superman's Cleveland' celebration of 85 years of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's creations, Sina Grace shared his recent book, Superman: The Harvests of Youth. We sat down with Grace to discuss his creative process for his retelling the story of the youth of world's first superhero in the twenty-first century, in his hometown of Smallville. During our discussion, we talked about Grace's move from autobiography and independent comics to sharing his story through the iconic characters like Superman. He reflected on what the superhero means today, why comics and the superhero will survive the AI revolution, as well the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic and Taylor Swift on the The Harvests of Youth!
