\"SUPERMANMarv Wolfman’s self-proclaimed “best Superman story [he’s] ever written.” This is an unpublished tale originally written for the SUPERMAN CONFIDENTIAL [2007] series. Must admit…I’m keenly intrigued.<\/p>\n

“‘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.”<\/p>\n
