Curt Swan

Superman: Exile and Other Stories Omnibus follows Clark after the Pocket Universe execution of three Kryptonian criminals, when guilt drives him away from Earth and into a harsh cosmic trial. It is a post-Crisis Superman story about conscience before spectacle. The book matters because Roger Stern, Jerry Ordway and George Perez use exile to define Superman as a moral character first, with Warworld and early Eradicator material pointing toward the 1990s line.
