Superman for All Seasons

Similar to the premise of the Smallville television series, this hardcover book takes a look at the life of a young Clark Kent as he begins to develop strange powers. Living in a small Kansas town, the boy who would grow to be the Man of Steel must come to terms with his true origin and his uncanny abilities. In this mythic tale, we witness the experiences and adventures that transform a simple country boy into the world's greatest hero.

Jonathan Kent tells the story of how his boy, Clark, grew from the young boy down on the farm into the young man desiring to see the world. Ma & Pa Kent fear the power growing within young Clark while Clark, himself, questions his role in life and among humanity. We see the origins of a man who feels the weight of responsibility that comes with such great power.

If you were born with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, how difficult would it be to confront your limitations? If you could bend steel with your bare hands, soar faster than a speeding bullet, and change the course of mighty rivers, what would it mean to fail? This is the dilemma…

Superman for All Seasons is a 4-issue comic book limited series written by Jeph Loeb with art by Tim Sale, originally published by DC Comics in 1998. With a theme dealing with seasons, the artwork contains many influences from that of Norman Rockwell. The story also parallels the events from Superman's then-origin story John Byrne's The Man of Steel, though it can be read on its own.

Before the legend, before the icon, before the Man of Tomorrow, there was Clark Kent, a young man coming to terms with the awesome power that fate granted him. Experience the tale of his transformation from country boy to Metropolis Superman as told by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale.

The early days of Clark Kent discovering his abilities as Superman is told over the course of four seasons. Writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale had achieved comic-book superstardom with their acclaimed mini-series, Batman: The Long Halloween and its precursor Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight one-shot Halloween specials. So when they decided to lend their particular talents to the Man of Steel's early years, the resulting effort was a smash hit. Complemented by the beautiful pastel hues of colorist Bjarne Hansen, this four issue prestige format series was a bright counterpoint to Loeb and Sale's noir Batman collaborations.
