''Franchise/{{Superman}} for All Seasons'' is a 4-issue comic book limited series written by Creator/JephLoeb with art by Tim Sale, originally published by DC Comics in 1998. With a theme dealing with seasons, the artwork contains many influences from that of Creator/NormanRockwell. The story also parallels the events from Superman's then-origin story Creator/JohnByrne's ''Comicbook/TheManOfSteel'', though it can be read on its own.

* KarmaHoudini: SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor poisons the entire city of Metropolis and uses a woman, who has a zealous love of Superman, to cure it, which results in her death. All in an attempt to break him psychologically. And he gets away with it scot-free.
** Except that chapter opened with a flashforward of him being arrested and sent to prison at some point after the events of the story, so not really.
*** That's actually a ContinuityNod to the events of ''The Man of Steel'', which happened during its fourth issue and became Lex's ultimate driving point for bringing Superman down after through such humiliation.
