Absolute Superman For All Seasons is a brilliant coming-of-age tale following the experiences and adventures that turn a country boy into the world's greatest hero.

The story unfolds through the course of four seasons in the Man of Steel's adolescent life, illustrating that it is the person, not the powers, that makes Superman a hero.

The catalyst for the "Smallville" television programme, Superman For All Seasons is emotional and insightful, humanising the alien from another planet so that he is not only realistic but also relatable. It features in-depth characterisations of Lana Lang, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane and the Kents.

Absolute Superman For All Seasons collects Superman For All Seasons #1-4, Superman/Batman #26, Superman/Batman- Secret Files #1, and the Superman story from Solo #1 in stunning absolute format.
