In "The Immortal Superman!", Superman faces a crisis of time and identity when he breaks his promise to the President and ventures into the distant future using a flawed Legion time bubble. Arriving in the year 101970, he discovers he’s aged a hundred thousand years and is trapped—unable to return to his own time, thanks to a hidden interference by the Time-Trapper. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art and George Roussos’s inks, this landmark issue features a striking cover by Swan and Murphy Anderson.
