Action Comics 2022 Annual #1
"A Tale of Two Titans" explores the formative years of two very different beings: Clark Kent, raised in Smallville with Martha Kent’s lessons in compassion, and Mongul, shaped by a mother who instilled in him a ruthless, unyielding nature. Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Si Spurrier, with dynamic art by Dale Eaglesham and Ian Churchill, this Annual offers a striking contrast in origins through vivid colors by Lee Loughridge and precise lettering by Dave Sharpe. The cover, a dramatic piece by Francesco Francavilla, captures the duality at the heart of the story.
