Byrne never bothered with anything like that (that I can think of right now), but Jurgens did a pretty decent story about a young Clark learning humility after letting his friend drink and drive.
I was pleasantly surprised by Jurgens run as writer. I think at the time much was made he was just given the writing gig to keep him from leaving DC for Marvel which reportedly offered him a writer/artist gig. I thought his run was one of the best. One of the top Superman artist in my opinion, especially when Thibert inked his stuff...
