Publication history

From 2007 to 2008, Mark Millar attempted to pitch a new series of Superman films to Warner Brothers but the studio went with David S. Goyer's pitch for Man of Steel instead.[7] Subsequently, by 2015, Millar described himself as having been so "traumatised" by the dour tone of Man of Steel that he reworked his pitch to be about an original Superman-type character known as Huck,[8] depicted with Asperger's syndrome and able to track down anyone whom he knows the name of. Huck then began publication on November 18, 2015,[9] and concluded on April 20, 2016.[2]
