About this Collection

This collection brings together a series of Elseworlds-style one-shots from 1996, each reimagining the iconic partnership of Superman and Batman in alternate timelines. The stories explore divergent paths for the World's Finest duo, from a medieval setting to a world where they never met, showcasing creative takes on their dynamic outside mainstream continuity.

In the Elseworlds tale "Leatherwing," John Henry's childhood friend—once a fellow laborer—rises to power as a ruthless plantation owner, forcing John to forge the legendary Steel armor not just to survive, but to lead a rebellion for freedom. Written by Jon Bogdanove and illustrated by Humberto Ramos, with inks by Ron Boyd and a team of additional inkers, this 1996 DC story reimagines a folk hero’s journey through a haunting, alternate history. The cover by Dave DeVries captures the story’s stark, defiant tone.
