All Clark wants is to be a writer, but his daily life is filled with the taunts and jibes of his peers, comparing him to that other Clark Kent - the one with super-powers. Until one day when Clark awakens to discover that he can fly...that he does in fact have super-strength! But where did these powers come from? And what's hegoing to do about it? SUPERMAN: SECRET IDENTITY collects the critically lauded 4-issue miniseries written by Kurt Busiek (JLA/AVENGERS, ASTRO CITY) with art by Stuart Immonen (AVENGERS).

Ratings and reviews

This is more like a What If? or even another DC Elseworlds. The story was good but the pacing and the built up to finish were not quite good. To those who like this one, you do you. It's just not the kind of story I like.

This book isn't really about superman, but at the sametime fills all the holes in superman lore. It's a must read. I read it at least once a year. Great for superman lovers, superman skeptics and even anti superman people. You want to know more? Just read it....

This is the best comics story I've read in years. The characters hook you right away and you feel Clark's struggle from beginning to end. Definitely worth reading.
