It also includes appearances by Supergirl, Krypto, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, and other iconic characters from the Superman mythos, along with behind-the-scenes material and a foreword. Published by DC in 2018, this volume serves as a comprehensive tribute to the character's evolution across eight decades of comic book history.
A landmark moment in Superman’s legacy, "The Coming of Superman" reimagines the Man of Steel’s origin with a bold new twist: Clark and Lois face the alien menace Brainiac during a rocket test, leading to a dramatic showdown where Superman rescues Metropolis and discovers a bottled Kryptonian city—later revealed to be Kandor—before sealing it in his Fortress. This 2018 Deluxe Edition, written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Al Plastino, features a stunning cover by Jim Lee, Scott Williams, and a legendary lineup of artists including Joe Shuster, Curt Swan, and George Pérez, celebrating eight decades of the iconic hero.

While on an experimental rocket, Clark & Lois encounter the alien Brainiac, who plans to shrink & bottle great cities of Earth & use them to repopulate his planet. Superman gets inside Brainiac’s ship when the villain takes Metropolis & there finds a bottle with a Kryptonian city (which in later issues will be named Kandor). He enters the bottle and with the help of a scientist restores the cities of Earth while Brainiac lies in suspended animation for his trip home. Because there is not enough power to restore the Kryptonian city, Superman places it in his Fortress, as Brainiac rockets away.
