Superman Last Son of Krypton

"As the dying planet Krypton tears itself apart, Jor-El, Krypton's greatest scientist, launches a tiny interstellar ship into the frigid void of space bearing in its hold his only child, the infant who will become Earth's Superman. From his childhood in Smallville, to his emergence as Metropolis newsman Clark Kent, through his battles with his arch-enemy Luthor, his story is told anew and as never before, with all the high drama and excitement that have enthralled three generations of fans." -- Back cover
