''Superman: Red Son'' is a three-issue prestige format comic book mini-series 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.

Crisis On Infinite Earths
"Crisis on Infinite Earths" is a 1985 American comic book crossover storyline published by DC Comics. The series, written by Marv Wolfman and pencilled by George Pérez, was first serialized as a 12-issue limited series from April 1985 to March 1986. As the main piece of a crossover event, some plot elements were featured in tie-in issues of other publications. Since its initial publication, the series has been reprinted in various formats and editions. The idea for the series stemmed from Wolfman's desire to abandon the DC Multiverse depicted in the company's comics—which he thought was unfriendly to readers—and create a single, unified DC Universe (DCU). The foundation of ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' developed through a character (the Monitor) introduced in Wolfman's '' The New Teen Titans'' in July 1982 before the series itself started. At the start of ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'', the Anti-Monitor (the Monitor's evil counterpart) is unleashed on the DC Multiverse and ...
