Book Synopsis



A New Era Begins for the Last Son of Krypton

John Byrne's historic reinvention of Superman returns in DC's most prestigious format.

After Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC tapped legendary writer-artist John Byrne to reimagine Superman for a new era--one that would redefine the hero's origins, relationships, and philosophy. In The Man of Steel, Byrne delivers a bold, character-driven reboot full of modern gravitas and timeless charm, setting the stage for every Superman story to come. From first meetings with Batman and Lois Lane to the rise of Lex Luthor and the eerie debut of Bizarro, this six-issue series reshaped the mythos of the Man of Tomorrow with unmatched clarity and heart.

This Absolute Edition collects The Man of Steel #1-6 in an oversized hardcover format with deluxe features and extras.
