The Superman Special (2018) is an oversized one-shot comic book that bridges different eras of Superman's life. It features two main stories: one where Superman and Superboy help a forgotten World War II soldier, Captain Storm, adjust to the modern world and return dog tags to his friends' families; and another larger, multi-chapter story called "Summer of Superman" that previews future storylines in the DC universe.
Story 1: Captain Storm
Superman and Superboy assist Captain Storm, a soldier from the past, in a journey across America to return dog tags to the families of his fallen comrades.
The story explores the themes of duty and honor as Storm reconnects with the modern world and completes his unfinished mission.
Lois Lane provides Storm with a list of families to help him on his journey.
Story 2: Summer of Superman
This larger, multi-chapter story serves as a prelude to the next year of Superman comics and the DC universe.
The chapters are written by various writers, including Mark Wade, Dan Slot, and Joshua Williamson, and are illustrated by artists such as Jorge Jimenez and Dan Mora.
The first chapter revisits a young Clark Kent in Smallville, while the second chapter features the wedding of John Henry Irons and Lana Lang.
The story also includes a larger, universe-wide threat that is teased throughout the issue, with many supporting characters from the Superman mythos making an appearance.
