DC Finest: Superman: The Man of Steel



A universe is reborn—and so is its greatest hero. DC Finest: Superman: The Man of Steel collects the foundational stories of Superman’s post-Crisis on Infinite Earths reinvention, where John Byrne (Man of Steel, X-Men) and Marv Wolfman (New Teen Titans, Crisis on Infinite Earths) reimagine the Last Son of Krypton for a new era.

From the six-issue Man of Steel miniseries that reshaped Superman’s origin to the earliest issues of the post-Crisis runs of Superman, Action Comics, and Adventures of Superman, this volume reveals a Clark Kent rooted in humanity, a Lois Lane with unstoppable drive, and a Lex Luthor redefined as a ruthless corporate tyrant.

With appearances by Wonder Woman, Batman, the Teen Titans, Darkseid, Green Lantern, and the Phantom Stranger, these stories cement the emotional, moral, and mythic foundations that guided Superman for decades.

Collects The Man of Steel #1–6; Superman #1–6; Adventures of Superman #424–429; and Action Comics #584–588.

In addition to his numerous comic book credits, Wolfman has also written several novels and worked in series television and animation, including the Superman cartoon of the late 1980s and currently the hit Teen Titans show on Cartoon Network.
