Pre-Loeb Era (1998-1999)
In 1997-1998, a twelve-issue mini-series entitled The Kents told the background of Superman's human family. A Western by genre, the series offered a kind of human counter to John Byrne's World of Krypton.
In 1998, in the months after The Kents concluded, DC offered the landmark Superman for all Seasons, a four-issue prestige format mini-series by the acclaimed team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. The series began in Smallville, telling a Norman Rockwellesque tale of Clark Kent's life as a human rather than as an alien. The series would exert a great influence on Superman's later incarnations, and Jeph Loeb would go on to take over Superman with #151 as part of 1999's new direction for the Superman titles.
