Superman - American Alien

Superman: American Alien is a seven-issue miniseries from DC Comics, published by Urban Comics in 2017, that reimagines the Man of Steel's early years through a grounded, character-driven lens. Written by Max Landis with a rotating roster of artists, each issue explores a pivotal moment in Clark Kent's life—from childhood to his first flight—framing his journey as a distinctly American coming-of-age story. Though a single collected volume, its sharp, humanizing take on Superman's origins has made it a standout modern interpretation of the character.
