Superman - For all seasons

In this 2001 prestige mini-series from Semic S.A., Superman's early years in Metropolis are revisited through the distinct perspectives of those closest to him: Pa Kent, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and Lana Lang. Spanning just two issues, the story focuses on the emotional weight of Clark Kent's journey from Smallville to becoming a symbol of hope, rather than on sprawling action. Written by Jeph Loeb with painted artwork by Tim Sale, this series is a poignant, character-driven take on the Man of Steel's formative days, celebrated for its intimate tone and striking visual storytelling.
