DC Comics Presents: Superman – Secret Identity #1
In "Smallville," Clark Kent steps into the spotlight as a fledgling writer in Manhattan, drawn to Lois Lane in a moment that feels both fateful and fleeting. When he answers the call to be Superman, his heroism leads him not to victory, but to a hidden lab where his fate takes a chilling turn. Written by Kurt Busiek and brought to life with striking art by Stuart Immonen—pencils, inks, and colors all by Immonen, with lettering by Todd Klein—this 2011 issue captures the raw tension of identity and sacrifice, with a cover by Immonen that sets the tone from the first glance.
