"The Man of Steel reveals secrets from his dual life as reporter and superhero in the recently released book The World According to Superman (Insight Editions). The story is narrated by Clark Kent/Superman (courtesy of comic book legend Louise Simonson) in this beautifully illustrated effort that spans over 60 full color pages. The man also known as Kal-El discusses his home planet of Krypton, his parents, Jonathan and Martha, his powers, and his legendary rogues gallery, including Lex Luthor, Darkseid and Doomsday."
