Superman: Earth One  (English, Paperback, Straczynski J. Michael)

J. Michael Straczynski's writing and Shane Davis's illustrations rebuild the mythology of Superman from scratch, taking all that we know about the Man of Steel and rebuilding him for the new generation with the promise of Truth, Justice and the American Way in Superman: Earth One.

Summary of the Book

Clark Kent is no ordinary young man. His gifts can make him the best in any field that he chooses, be it sports or rocket science. He can easily take care of his mother and see to her needs. That is what he wants, isn't it? Perhaps not. Clark Kent's secret may be the one thing that is keeping the Earth alive, and also the one thing that could bring it to destruction. The last son of a dead planet, does Clark Kent have what it takes to make the decision to become who he must? He is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive and can leap tall buildings in a single bound but can he truly rise up to his destiny? Can he become Superman?
