Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s one of the world’s most iconic characters, Superman. Since his first appearance in the debut issue of Action Comics back in 1938, the Last Son of Krypton has been soaring through comics, TV, films and countless fan collections. Decades on, our fascination with Clark Kent’s alter ego shows no sign of slowing, and now he’s taking an unexpected leap into the kitchen. And to celebrate, we’ve got a stack of Superman goodies to give away, including copies of the brand-new official cookbook. Want to get straight to the competition? The entry form is just a scroll away.

Superman: The Official Cookbook is a collaboration with DC Comics, bringing together recipes inspired by key moments from across the Man of Steel’s life. It’s a playful mix of comic-book nostalgia and proper comfort food, spanning Smallville suppers, Daily Planet lunch breaks and far-flung Justice League adventures.

Die-hard fans can recreate dishes pulled straight from Superman lore, from the beef bourguignon with ketchup that Lois and Clark shared on their first date, to Martha Kent’s delicious apple pie, and Jimmy Olsen’s gyros wrap. Each recipe is clearly laid out and paired with art that keeps the whole thing rooted in Superman’s world.

The book is split into four chapters, each marking a different stage of Clark Kent’s journey to becoming Superman, blending storytelling with easy, cookable ideas.

If you’re looking for a Christmas gift that encompasses a love of both comics and cooking, this should be on your list.
