Superman: Secret Identity #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2005 collected edition reprints the four-issue miniseries Superman: Secret Identity, a standalone story written by Kurt Busiek with art by Stuart Immonen. Set in the real world, it follows a Kansas man named Clark Kent who gains superpowers and must navigate the challenges of living as a real-life Superman without the trappings of the DC Universe. The volume collects all four issues of the acclaimed Elseworlds tale, exploring themes of identity, responsibility, and the weight of a legacy.
In "Smallville," Clark Kent takes his first steps as a journalist in Manhattan, drawn to Lois Lane in a way he can’t explain—until he answers the call of duty as Superman, only to vanish into a shadowy lab where something far more unsettling begins. Written by Kurt Busiek and brought to life with striking precision by Stuart Immonen, whose art defines every page and cover, this issue blends intimate character moments with a chilling mystery that redefines the hero’s origins.
In a world where Superman is just a comic book legend, a young man named Clark Kent begins to suspect his own life is anything but ordinary—especially when his family and friends start noticing the strange things he can do. With his mother Laura and father David offering quiet support, and his childhood friend Cassie watching closely, Clark must navigate the growing mystery of who he really is.
In "Metropolis," Clark Kent navigates the chaos of life as a struggling writer in Manhattan, drawn into a passionate connection with Lois Chaudhari. When his dual identity as Superman leads him into a hidden lab, he’s thrust into a dangerous experiment that tests the limits of his humanity.
