What turns a country boy into the world's greatest hero?

What turns a country boy into the world's greatest hero?

Told through the course of four seasons in the Man of Steel's adolescent life, this collection illustrates that it is the person, not the powers, that makes Superman a hero.

The catalyst for the "Smallville" television program, 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 also features in-depth characterisations of Lana Lang, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane and the Kents.

Superman For All Seasons collects the entirety of Superman For All Seasons #1-4.
