Superman: The Man of Steel #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first six issues of the 2003 Superman: The Man of Steel series, which reimagined the Man of Steel's early days in Metropolis for a modern audience. Written by John Byrne with art by Byrne and Dick Giordano, the story follows Clark Kent's debut as Superman, his first encounters with Lex Luthor, and the emergence of villains like Metallo and the Parasite. It serves as a cornerstone for the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths Superman continuity.
In "Book One: Prologue: From Out the Green Dawn…," Superman returns to Smallville only to find the spaceship that brought him to Earth has vanished. As he uncovers a hidden program within it, he gains access to the full knowledge of Krypton—and confronts the lasting impact of his past choices on those he cares about. Written by John Byrne and illustrated by John Byrne, with inks by Dick Giordano, colors by Tom Ziuko, and letters by John Costanza, this pivotal issue sets the tone for a new era of Superman’s origin. The cover, by Jerry Ordway, captures the moment with quiet intensity.
