From there, Busiek’s command of the day-to-day life of Kal-El in is highlighted in Action Comics #837-843 and Superman #650-658 with storylines such as “Up, Up, and Away”, “Back in Action”, and “Camelot Falls”.
Busiek is joined by creators Geoff Johns, Fabian Nicieza, Stuart Immonen, Pete Woods, Renato Guedes, Carlos Pacheco, George Tuska, Mark Texeira, Paul Ryan, Jesus Merino, Mark Alexander, Rick Magyar, Alfredo Alcala, and Joe Rubinstein in the collection.
