Superman #400
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn the 60th century, Superman is venerated as a living legend—almost a deity—by a society shaped by his enduring myth. When a crisis in the present sends him hurtling into the distant future, he finds himself confronted with a world where his name is spoken in reverence, and his legacy has taken on a life of its own. Written by Elliot Maggin and illustrated by Klaus Janson, this landmark issue captures the weight of legend through Janson’s striking art and Costanza’s precise lettering, while Howard Chaykin’s cover powerfully frames the moment.
In the year 2491, Konrad Glumm stumbles upon Superman's forgotten costume, igniting a spark that fuels the Christmas Rebellion and sets Earth on a course toward reclaiming its lost democracy.
In the 60th century, Superman’s legend has grown into something almost divine—yet a young man named Riley Bendix still wonders if the myth matches the man. When Superman is accidentally hurled from the present into this distant future, he must confront the weight of his own legacy, not as a hero, but as a myth.
In a distant future where humanity has evolved beyond recognition, only one descendant of Superman remains—alone at the edge of eternity, carrying the last echoes of a forgotten world. This haunting tale explores the fate of a species long gone, and the final heir who still bears the weight of a legacy that no longer has a home.
