Stories

  • Superman Year One Book One · 64 pages

    Sent in a rocket from the planet Krypton before it exploded, Kal-El arrives on Earth and is adopted by the Kents. Growing up as Clark Kent, he learns to control his powers so as not to hurt anyone. That is put to the test when Clark stands up to school bullies who are picking on his friends. When the bullies threaten Lana, Clark stops the bullies, and develops a romantic relationship with Lana. At graduation, Clark enlists in the Navy and leaves Smallville.

Publisher’s description

From the burning world of Krypton to the bucolic fields of Kansas, the first chapter of SUPERMAN YEAR ONE tracks Clark Kent’s youth in Kansas, as he comes to terms with his strange powers and struggles to find his place in our world. DC BLACK LABEL is proud to present the definitive origin of Superman as rendered by the legendary comics creators Frank Miller and John Romita Jr.!
