In "Visitor," John Byrne's dynamic storytelling brings a poignant moment to Smallville as Lois Lane meets Lana Lang, leading to a heartfelt revelation from Ma and Pa Kent—both Clark and Superman were raised by them. With Byrne handling both art and cover, this 1988 issue offers a quiet yet powerful look at Superman’s roots, grounded in the familiar warmth of Smallville.
