In case you hadn’t heard, there’s a new Superboy series coming out this November.

What you see here is the absolutely gorgeous cover to the first issue with art by Rafael Albuquerque (Vertigo’s American Vampire). Click image here at right for full, larger view.

The new ongoing series will feature the talents of writer Jeff Lemire and artist Pier Gallo and according to DC’s Source Blog, will take Superboy “on a journey to a side of Smallville not even Superman knows about.”

This will be Lemire’s first crack at a monthly superhero book and I’m really interested to see how he handles it.

Why isn’t it November yet?!
