“Higher Ground”

In "Higher Ground," Superman faces a rare moment of helplessness when Lex Luthor threatens to foreclose on an elderly man’s farm to make way for a towering new skyscraper. Drawing on a personal memory from his teenage years, Superman begins to rethink what it truly means to protect the people he cares about—especially when the solution isn’t just about strength, but about standing up for what’s right. Written by Stuart Immonen and Mark Millar, with art by Steve Epting and inks by Denis Rodier, this 1999 issue captures a quiet yet powerful moment in the Man of Steel’s journey. The cover, by Phil Jimenez, beautifully captures the emotional weight of the story.
