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: heroes you know…in worlds you don’t.

Superman’s Elseworlds tales are featured in this new edition of the graphic novel collection.


This volume includes the story of Superman’s son growing up without a father, the Superman of England, a Superman raised in the 30th century and an angel’s attempt to help Linda Danvers (Supergirl) overcome the darkness within.

Collects SON OF SUPERMAN, SUPERBOY’S LEGION #1-2, SUPERGIRL: WINGS and SUPERMAN: TRUE BRIT!
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. View titles by John Byrne
