Description

Book Synopsis

All-star writer Mark Waid has teamed up with rising star artist Skylar Patridge to tell a brand-new, definitive story of the Man of Steel's youth! Action Comics tells the story of a teenage Clark Kent in his life on Kent Farm as he struggles to fit into his life both in high school and on Earth as a burgeoning Kryptonian superhero!

The Boy of Steel returns! Mark Waid and Skylar Patridge explore the early days of Superman as Clark Kent struggles to fit into his life both as an adoptive member of humanity and as a teenage boy in Kansas! Of course, neither of those things is easy, especially when you also happen to be harboring your secret identity as Superboy, the Boy of Steel!

This coming-of-age story links the Clark Kent of the past to the Clark Kent of the present and future, creating the perfect jumping-on point for new and lapsed readers alike to rediscover the Man of Steel and what makes him a quintessential comic book icon!
