Superman for All Seasons Paperback – 24 Oct. 2023

A fantastic and heartfelt comic book; a tale for the ages!

Forget what you thought you knew. Forget the alien origin story. This is a story fundamentally about the development and maturity of Clark Joseph Kent. And the story is all the better for it.Deceptively simple, with whimsical artwork, 'For All Seasons' is a wonderful book, with much to be admired and a plot which looks at the effect of Superman on those around him.

For All Seasons was Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's follow up to their Batman Story, the Long Halloween. Both stories are amazing, definitive stories for their respective characters, though if I had to choose I'd say the Long Halloween is the stronger story.Like the Long Halloween, this is a Superman towards the start of his career and the story serves to establish much of the Superman canon. It's a Superman that is discovering his powers and his own identity. It's a wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated book (though I think Sale's style doesn't lend itself quite as well to Metropolis as it does to Gotham).I could easily recomend to anyone interested in comics.

Must be read before seeing James Gunn's Superman. Such a great take on the boy scout we all love. Brilliant.

Really introduces the character well, and what makes him so iconic outside of his power set or his villains. A page turner and especially uplifting

Love Tim sales art style for metropolis and Smallville and love the idea for each chapter representing a season. Jeph Loeb with his writing clearly understands superman's motivation for why he helps people and the characteristics of the man.

The story, the art, the characters! 10/10 for me, so heart warming and hope filled! I wish there was a sequel.

Another great outing for Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. A gentle Superman story told through the year from the different views of characters that are linked to Superman or Clark Kent. If you've enjoyed their other work together, you won't be disappointed.
