Artist Mike Kelley spent a decade working on creating glass sculptures of Superman‘s Kryptonian bottle city of Kandor and now University of Chicago Press has collected photos of these creations for a new book, Mike Kelley: Kandors, available now.

See the image above of some of the artwork, and visit the NY Times blog to view a slideshow with more pictures of these works.

Along with the photos, the book is said to chronicle Kelley’s lengthy journey in creating these artworks and the stumbling blocks he came across while doing it, like acquiring large enough glass and figuring out the look of Kandor from its comic book sources.
