Clark Kent's parents are brutally murdered, causing a young boy to grow up to become...Batman? Superman as a grizzled loner trying to save the world from destruction? The Man of Steel as a medieval knight? In Elseworlds, anything is possible. These reimagined alternate histories of the Man of Steel are all now here in one collection for the first time ever in SUPERMAN: ELSEWORLDS VOL. 1. Included are many tales either never before included in graphic novel form or long out of print, including SUPERMAN: SPEEDING BULLETS, SUPERMAN: KAL, SUPERMAN: DISTANT FIRES, SUPERMAN: A NATION DIVIDED, SUPERMAN, INC. and SUPERMAN: WAR OF THE WORLDS.

In Elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places—some that have existed, or might have existed, and others that can't, couldn't or shouldn't exist. The result: stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow. Featuring the story of Superman's son in a world without Superman, a Superman raised in England, a Superman raised in the 30th century and an angel's attempt to help Linda Danvers (Supergirl) overcome the darkness within. Now, for the first time, Superman's Elseworlds tales are featured in a new series of graphic novel collections. Collects Son of Superman, Superboy's Legion #1-2, Superman: True Brit and Supergirl: Wings!
