Superman: Exile

In this 1998 DC one-shot, Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway revisit a pivotal chapter of Superman’s history, as the Man of Steel deliberately exiles himself into deep space after a devastating loss of control. Jurgens, who also provides the art, anchors this introspective story that explores the hero’s struggle with his own power and morality. A key entry in the post-“Death of Superman” era, it deepens the character’s mythos by focusing on his self-imposed isolation.
