Superman: Year One #[nn]

In "Superman: Year One Part One Smallville," a young Clark Kent—raised in Smallville by the Kents—faces his first real test of power when he intervenes to protect his friends from bullies, including a moment that sparks a quiet connection with Lana. Written by Frank Miller and illustrated by John Romita Jr., with inks by Danny Miki and colors by Alex Sinclair, this story captures the quiet intensity of a boy learning to be a hero long before the world knows his name. The cover, a striking collaboration by Romita Jr. and Miller, captures Clark’s turning point with a grounded, emotionally charged moment.
