A universe is reborn—and so is its greatest hero. DC Finest: Superman: The Man of Steel collects the foundational stories of Superman’s post-Crisis on Infinite Earths reinvention, where John Byrne (Man of Steel, X-Men) and Marv Wolfman (New Teen Titans, Crisis on Infinite Earths) reimagine the Last Son of Krypton for a new era.
From the six-issue Man of Steel miniseries that reshaped Superman’s origin to the earliest issues of the post-Crisis runs of Superman, Action Comics, and Adventures of Superman, this volume reveals a Clark Kent rooted in humanity, a Lois Lane with unstoppable drive, and a Lex Luthor redefined as a ruthless corporate tyrant.
With appearances by Wonder Woman, Batman, the Teen Titans, Darkseid, Green Lantern, and the Phantom Stranger, these stories cement the emotional, moral, and mythic foundations that guided Superman for decades.
Collects The Man of Steel #1–6; Superman #1–6; Adventures of Superman #424–429; and Action Comics #584–588.
Born in England and raised in Canada, John Byrne discovered superheroes through The Adventures of Superman on television. After studying at the Alberta College of Art and Design, he broke into comics first with Skywald and then at Charlton, where he created the character Rog-2000. Following his tenure at Charlton, Byrne moved to Marvel, where his acclaimed runs on The Uncanny X-Men and The Fantastic Four soon made him one of the most popular artists in the industry. In 1986 he came to DC to revamp Superman from the ground up, and since then he has gone on to draw and/or write every major character at both DC and Marvel.

In a career that has spanned nearly 30 years, Marv Wolfman has helped shape the heroic careers of DC Comics' Green Lantern, Blackhawk, and the original Teen Titans, as well as Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Nova. In addition to co-creating The New Teen Titans and the universe-shattering Crisis on Infinite Earths with George Pérez, Wolfman was instrumental in the revamp of Superman after Crisis, the development of The New Teen Titans spin-off series Vigilante, Deathstroke the Terminator, and Team Titans, and created such characters as Blade for Marvel, along with Night Force and the retooled Dial "H" For Hero for DC. In addition to his numerous comic book credits, Wolfman has also written several novels and worked in series television and animation, including the Superman cartoon of the late 1980s and currently the hit Teen Titans show on Cartoon Network.
