Clad in jeans and a T-shirt emblazoned with a giant S, Superman is born as Clark begins his career as a champion of truth and justice. As Superman, he immediately comes face-to-face with a slew of classic villains who are eager to test his courage and resoluteness.
In Grant Morrison’s acclaimed reimagining of Superman’s early days, Clark Kent arrives in Metropolis with extraordinary power and an unshakable sense of justice. Still learning what it means to be a hero, he takes on corruption at every level—from powerful institutions to dangerous new threats that see him as something to control or destroy.
As his presence begins to change the city, Superman must decide what he stands for—and what kind of symbol he will become.
Blending grounded action, imaginative science fiction, and the emotional pull of a modern myth, Superman by Grant Morrison Book One presents a fresh, accessible take on one of the most recognizable heroes in the world.
