Stan Lee, co-creator of Spider-Man, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, brings us his vision of the world's Original Super-Hero, Superman. Salden, a brave but puny policeman on an alien world where science has made its ordinary people supermen by Earthly standards, must track down an escaped criminal named Gorrock. Journeying in an experimental spacecraft, the bitter enemies are marooned on Earth. Arriving in Los Angeles, he discovers that Earth's environment gives him abilities far beyond those of ordinary humans, and decides to devote himself to solving the world's problems so that Earth can focus on technological advancement and provide him with a trip back home. Talent agent Lois Lane quickly dubs him Superman. Fighting crime on Earth proves harder than the erstwhile Superman expected when Gorrock arrives in L.A. and becomes part of the malevolent Reverend Dominic Darrk's schemes.
