Sufjan Stevensの通算5作目となる2005年の名作『Illinois』の「10周年記念特別Blue Marvelエディション」。アートワークには著作権の問題で初版以降封印されていたスーパーマンが新たにシカゴ生まれのスーパーヒーローBlue Marvel（※）となって復活。
※Blue Marvelとはアメリカン・コミックのキャラクターであり、本作の舞台イリノイ州シカゴ生まれのスーパーヒーローのことだそうです。2005年の初版のアートワークにのみ存在していたというスーパーマンは、Asthmatic KittyとRough Tradeによるその後の多くのリイシュー版では著作権の問題で風船に変更、もしくはただ削除されていました。
