A new epic that chronicles the life of Clark Kent and his development into the archetypal hero he will eventually become. But these are not the stories of the iconic "Superman" as you know him, but of the soft-spoken, charming, often-funny Kansas farm-boy behind the Man of Steel. With the tone of each issue ranging from heartwarming and simple, to frighteningly gritty and violent, to sexy, sun-kissed and funny, Superman: American Alien is unlike anything you've seen before.

"Originally published in single magazine form as Superman: American Alien 1-7"--Title page verso. "Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, by special arrangement with the Jerry Siegel family." Chiefly illustrations.
