About the series
Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s four-issue prestige series for DC reimagines Superman’s early years through the intimate, seasonal perspectives of those closest to him—from Smallville to Metropolis. Each chapter, tied to a different time of year, frames Clark Kent’s journey not as an origin story but as a character study, with Sale’s painterly, expressive art giving the Man of Steel a warmth and vulnerability rarely seen. Since its 1998 debut, the series has stood as a defining, heartfelt take on the character, celebrated for its emotional depth and its focus on the human connections that shape a hero.
