Summary

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!
