Superman: The Man of Steel by John Byrne: Absolute Edition

A new era begins for the last son of Krypton: John Byrne's historic reimagining of Superman returns in DC's most prestigious format. After Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC commissioned legendary writer and artist John Byrne to rethink Superman for a new time - with a reinterpretation of his origin, relationships and guiding principles.

In The Man of Steel, Byrne presents a bold, character-driven reboot full of modern gravitas and timeless charm that sets the stage for all subsequent Superman stories. From the first encounters with Batman and Lois Lane to the rise of Lex Luthor to the eerie debut of Bizarro - this six-part series shaped the myth of the Man of Tomorrow with clarity and heart.
