Superman: Red Son is an American three-issue prestige format comic book miniseries published by DC Comics that was released under their Elseworlds imprint in 2003. Author Mark Millar created the comic with the premise, "What if Superman had been raised in the Soviet Union?" It received critical acclaim and was nominated for the 2004 Eisner Award for Best Limited Series. The story mixes alternate versions of DC super-heroes with alternate-reality versions of real political figures such as Joseph Stalin and John F. Kennedy. The series spans approximately 1953–2001, save for a futuristic epilogue. In Red Son, Superman's rocket ship lands on a Ukrainian collective farm rather than in Kansas.
