I guess that depends on how many members of that audience is like me, driven by a multitude of passions. All of it came together in this book, which is probably one of those I’ve written or co-written that I’m most proud of.Ĭan you share some of the books you have written in the past that might be of note to the KryptonSite/KSiteTV audience? It could be talking to director Lee Sholem about Superman and the Mole Men, Deborah Joy Levine along with cast and crew about Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman looking back at the Christopher Reeve movies through detailed conversations with the likes of Richard Donner, Richard Lester, David and Leslie Newman and so on chronicling the adventures of Superboy with John Haymes Newton, Stacy Haiduk and Gerard Christopher being there on the ground floor of Smallville in terms of coverage, speaking to the creatives behind Superman Returns or Man of Steel, digging in deep with Tyler Hoechlin, going over Superman: Birthright issue-by-issue with writer Mark Waid … just a seeming endless stream of conversations, enhanced even more by myriad new ones conducted for Voices from Krypton. I’ve always looked for every opportunity I could find to cover the character, whether that be in movies, television, comic books or whatever. When it came to Superman - and this was the same with Star Trek, James Bond, etc. KRYPTONSITE’S CRAIG BYRNE: How long has this book been in the works?ĮDWARD GROSS: That’s kind of a trick question, because in my mind, when wasn’t this book in the works? Ever since I became an entertainment journalist a little over 40 years ago, I’ve been lucky enough to have my pop culture passions dovetail with my work. KryptonSite had the opportunity to interview Ed Gross about the book so you can see and know why this is a “must-read” for this site’s audience.

You may also see some familiar names inside – including KryptonSite’s own Craig Byrne and Always Hold On To Smallville host and creator Zach Moore. There’s even material related to the Nicolas Cage Superman film that never happened. Voices From Krypton has a foreword by Brandon Routh and such folks as Tom Welling, Henry Cavill, and Zack Snyder are interviewed within.

If you’ve followed Superman media and interviews at all in recent years, you’ve surely read some of the fantastic interviews that Ed Gross has conducted in his productive career as an entertainment journalist. Voices from Krypton combines over 85 years of Superman’s legacy into a sweeping tale of how the champion of the oppressed became one of the world’s most recognizable pop culture icons. Superman hit his 85th anniversary this year, and the coming weeks will see the release of what is described as “the most comprehensive oral history of Superman committed to print” – Voices from Krypton by author Edward Gross.
