The post by Odie Henderson reminded me of a comic book series by Jim Valentino and Jason Rand (Valentino came up with the concept, Rand did the script), Juan Perreyra (pencils), Clayton Brown (inks), and others, called "Emissary". The central concept was, indeed, "What if Superman was black?"

Amazing what changing one word can do. In the article itself, the headline is the first sentence, but the first word is "Only." The headline now says the exact opposite of what the article says.

Finally got to see National Theatre Live's "The Importance of Being Earnest". Herewith linked a sort of review:

Having read this long ago (may still have a copy, even), it's very ... Jane Eyre/Dr Jekyll-adjacent in some ways.

The current cover has, unfortunately, acquired actual subtlety.

Did not remember that it was part of a trilogy; don't think I've read the others.
