Superman: World without a Superman

In the wake of Superman’s death, DC Comics presented this single-issue 1993 special as a somber, reflective epilogue to the "Death of Superman" saga. Written by Roger Stern with art by Jackson Guice, the story follows the people of Metropolis—from Lois Lane to everyday citizens—as they struggle to process a world without their greatest hero. Rather than action, the issue focuses on grief, memorial, and the quiet weight of legacy, marking a poignant pause before the rise of the four replacement Supermen. It remains a key emotional beat in one of comics' most famous storylines.
