On the new lesson of Pro Teaches n00bs, Bianca & I go over what many consider one of the BEST Superman stories ever told! Superman: Secret Identity by Kurt Busiek and Stuart Immonen

Set in the real world, this story examines the life of a young Kansas man with the unfortunate name of Clark Kent.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 he going to do about it?

What makes this story work so well is it's NOT so much about SUPERMAN but rather Clark Kent with Superman's Powers! How does he live his life, how does he help people but keep a normal life? Etc etc. It brilliantly drawn as well! But yeah if you want a great character study on Clark Kent, look no further.
