World of Smallville

(DC, 1988)
™ and ©1988 DC Comics, Inc.

As a boy, Clark Kent grew up in Smallville, and even today, it is the one place which Superman loves the most. His parents, Ma and Pa Kent still live there in the house he grew up in, and the streets are filled with people who remember him from when he was a boy. Still, even this little town has its secrets. One of them, Clark is shocked to learn, is that his mother was once married to someone other than his father. Therein lies a story—exactly the sort of tale that small town life is full of.

World of Smallville was one of three interlocking mini-series which shed light on the forces that shaped Superman. The others were World of Krypton, which described his birth world, and World of Metropolis, which was set in the grown Clark Kent’s home city.
