Superman for All Seasons

"Combines the scope and pathos of a John Ford film with an intimate portrait of a superhero. Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale have found a truly original apporach to tell a legendary story. This book is a milestone in the Superman canon."--Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, creators and executive producers of Smallville "It is the perfect introduction for new Superman readers, but has enough depth to prove informative and entertaining for long-time fans as well."--IGN
