Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler to draw Superman project

The World Wrestling Entertainment website carries a brief item announcing that wrestler Jerry “The King” Lawler will “draw Superman for an upcoming project” set to appear on the DC Comics site.Lawler, who’s described as “an accomplished artist” and “a lifelong Superman enthusiast,” has a gallery of his work (NSFW) on his own site. He has illustrated a children’s book, Mick Foley’s Christmas Chaos, by fellow wrestler Mick Foley.
All of that probably would mean more to me if I followed professional wrestling. I know Lawler’s name from his history with Andy Kaufman, but I had no idea he was still around. More interesting, I think, is the suggestion that DC may be pursuing original online content.
WWE.com promises more information from Lawler sometime this week.
Surprisingly, his site has some pretty decent artwork, still it doesn't show any sequential storytelling.
