About the series
In this 1998 DC miniseries, writer John Francis Moore and artist Kieron Dwyer reimagine Superman's origin through a chilling "what if" scenario: what if the infant Kal-El had been raised on the hellish world of Apokolips instead of Earth? The three-issue story follows a Superman shaped by Darkseid's tyranny, exploring how Kryptonian power might serve a far more sinister purpose. Dwyer's expressive pencils ground this dark Elseworlds tale, offering a haunting counterpoint to the hero's familiar journey.
