Lois Lane pieces together the past two years of Superman’s life for a Daily Planet article, but missing fragments linger—until Jimmy Olsen arrives with the details that fill in the blanks. With memories of heroes and villains from Superman’s past swirling in the background, the story unfolds through a mosaic of flashbacks, each one adding depth to the man who’s always been just out of reach.
