Written by Mary Wolfman. Art and Cover by Claudio Castellini. 'This is the best Superman story I've ever written.' So says living legend Marv Wolfman, and when you've written hundreds of Superman stories as he has, it means a great deal. This gem of a tale - written and drawn from 2006-2009 for the SUPERMAN CONFIDENTIAL series - explodes from the DC archives as a triumphant tale of Clark Kent's fateful first days in Metropolis, which were far from easy. His early failures almost ensured there would never be a hero called Superman. Powerful writing and stunning art combine to conjure an inspiring story that needed to be published, one you will never forget, from a pair of master storytellers. 100 pages, full color. Rated T Cover price $9.99.

NOTE: There will be only one printing of this book ever!
