Adventures of Superman #614

Something quietly intriguing is happening on Kevin Nowlan's cover for this May 2003 issue — Superman stands on a city street scratching his head in puzzlement, flanked by a crowd of ordinary-looking residents and a spotted dog tugging at his cape, while the bold tagline reads "Welcome to Heroville… Population: YOU!" Writer Joe Casey and artist Derec Aucoin deliver a story with a title — "Truths Told in Super-Secret" — that promises something more personal and street-level than a typical cape-and-fist adventure. The understated, neighborhood-scale setting makes this one feel refreshingly grounded for a Superman comic.
