About the series
Set in a world much like our own, Superman: Secret Identity follows a young man named Clark Kent who, unlike his famous namesake, has no powers—until he suddenly develops them. Written by Kurt Busiek with art by Stuart Immonen, this four-issue DC series from 2004 reimagines the Superman mythos as a grounded, real-world story about the weight of extraordinary abilities. It matters for its thoughtful, character-driven approach, exploring themes of identity and legacy without ever leaving its own cleverly constructed reality.
