His secret identity as Superboy adds another dimension to those competing parts of his life. The story connects the young Clark with the figure he becomes, and this volume collects issues #1087–1092 of *Action Comics*.

The Boy of Steel returns! Mark Waid and Skylar Patridge explore the early days of Superman as Clark Kent struggles to fit into his life both as an adoptive member of humanity and as a teenage boy in Kansas!
