Let's get the important part out of the way, John Cleese, Brit Comedy Legend was involved in the creation of this graphic novel and I expect this is reason why Superman crash lands in Weston-super-Mare as its John's birth place. Anyway, this novel reminds me a lot of Jack Staff and like Jack, Superman is forced to be a true Brit. He grows up with a "what will the neighbours think?" attitude to the world. When he finally shows himself to the world, the gutter press build him up, just to knock him down. True Brit had me chuckle on a few occasions, but I was left with only one feeling at the end, Superman could never truly be a British Hero, he is too flashy for us.
