Superman: Last Son of Earth is a DC Comics Elseworlds tale released in the year 2000. It was written by Steve Gerber with art by Doug Wheatley. There was a sequel in 2003 called Superman: Last Stand on Krypton.
The story is a reverse of the usual Superman origin with him being sent from Earth to Krypton and discovering a Green Lantern power ring, which he uses to become a superhero. Gerber's focus is more on social commentary: particularly xenophobia, cultural stagnation, and authoritarianism.

“No imperfection in budded mountain,
Valleys breathe, heaven and earth move together,
daisies push inches of yellow air, vegetables tremble,
green atoms shimmer in grassy mandalas,
sheep speckle the mountainside, revolving their jaws with empty eyes,
horses dance in the warm rain,”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
