Description
Since his debut in 1938, Superman has become a true American icon. Now, acclaimed writer Steven T. Seagle (Superman, Grendel) teams up with renowned painter Teddy Kristiansen (Superman) to present a fresh look at the entire Superman mythos. Offered the chance to chronicle the adventures of the world's most famous hero, Steve's life has never looked brighter. His personal life, though, has taken a turn for the worse: his father has gone missing, his mother is very worried and a grim family secret - a fatal genetic disease - has re-entered his life. In the real world, where not all diseases have cures, where the only Superman is ink on paper, who will come to save the day?
