The writing, like the art of “Superman For All Seasons” is whimsical and poetic, complementing the seasonal theme of the work. Each “season” or section is narrated by a different person in Clark Kent’s life, starting with his father, followed by Lois Lane, Lex Luthor and ending with Lana Lang; and each narrative is seamlessly interwoven into the dialogue. Though it first appears to be an origin story, “Superman For All Seasons” is more about the themes of power and choices made in regard to said power, attempting to give the reader a glimpse into the inner workings of these characters. But like a poem, the words are used sparingly to create imagery. And together with the illustrations, this graphic novel creates a contemplative tone. It is Superman at his most classic. However, with the sheer number of Superman stories available, this one certainly is not the most novel of them.

Okay. Four stories, narrated by different people in Superman’s life , showing his early life and (shallowly) examining various characters’ motivations for doing what they do.
I enjoyed the insight into Lex’s love of Metropolis and jealousy when it (she) betrays him for Superman, but wasn’t thrilled with the Lex charact overall – too thuglike.
Also, the art had the right feel, very early Supermanish, but it didn’t grab me, and the shot of Clark and Lana’s heads in the snow, followed by the discontinuitous snow angels turned me off…
Worth a read if you have a few minutes to kill, but it was no Superman: Secret Identity
